Many of the 100-odd land grant universities in the United States own and operate off-campus agricultural facilities that require safe and reliable power which pose noteworthy challenges:
- Because they are off-site they may be supplied by the local utility
- On-site generation apparatus such as wind energy, solarvoltaic and geothermal systems
- One service point but with one or more feeder “service” taps
- Ground regimes that have known stray voltage characteristics with fencing
- Emergency generators; especially with milking facilities
None of these issues are difficult but they are subtle and worth revisiting in a year in which the National Electrical Safety Code is being re-written.
