Presidential Libraries as Performance: Curating American Character

Michigan State University

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.
