[AT] : Ice Storm

[Cecil Bearden]

If you look at the NAVFAC illustrations on grounding the generator 
shack, it has a grounding grid outside fastened to the building and 
connected to the neutral.   Looks like lightning protection grid.   I 
have 3 steel buildings out here and each one has a ground rod driven 
under the service box and connected.  May not be according to code, but 
it stops a lot of problems.  I had a real interesting one a few months 
back where a fence panel was causing a baling wire to glow where it 
fastened between the panel and the corner post.  Never did figure out 
where that was happening.  Onluy registered 6 volt differential, but 
would make a baling wire glow.  A travel trailer was hooked to service 
nearby and the power box was hanging on the fence about 50 yards away.  
We laid new wiring to the bax and hookup and drove a ground rod in and 
it quit.  However, at the same time the water heater was changed in the 
trailer.  It had a electric auxillary element.  I suspect the element 
was what was causing the curerent.
