Electrical Wiring for Livestock and Poultry Structures

Using on-farm scenes of wiring situations, this 16-minute video illustrates wiring dangers that arise when improper methods or materials are used in confinement structures.  Learn what creates hazardous wiring in livestock and poultry structures, and how to choose the correct service entrance panel, cable, light fixtures, and outlet boxes.  See how to avoid hazardous situations and premature replacement of equipment with proper installation.  Developed by NFEC with input from educators, electric power suppliers, and other professionals, this videotape would be an excellent addition to your customer-education program.  It is a valuable resource for contractors, electricians, youth groups, and insurance professionals.

Fundamentals of Stray Voltage


This training video comes in two parts. First, viewers see a 5-minute segment explaining the basics of stray voltage. This is helpful for educating a general audience.  The second part contains a more detailed discussion and visual demonstration.  In this segment, Dr. Truman Surbrook provides a live demonstration to create neutral-to-earth voltage using unbalanced loads, poor connections, and off-farm sources. This segment is 44 minutes in length.

Understanding Neutral-to-Earth Voltage

After watching this 10-minute videotape, almost anyone will have a better understanding of the phenomenon of neutral-to-earth or stray voltage.  Using on-farm scenes and comments from experts, farmers, and electricians, the video explains what stray voltage is and how it can occur.  Illustrations detail possible sources and show why dairy cows are particularly susceptible.  Produced by the Detroit Edison Company and the Cooperative Extension Service at Michigan State University, the video is available only through NFEC.
