Subject: Re: safe voltage limits for cattle ( cows horses etc)
Hello Gert,
After watching the responses to your query for the last few days, and the
good humour offered too, I decided to see what I could find on the
subject.
If you go to either of my two favorite search tools <www.raging.com> or
<www.google.com> and input the term
stray voltage AND cows
you will get a number of very good hits at the top of the pile of links
they locate. (Don't use any quote marks surrounding the term)
A quick read of a few of the papers indicates that cows are sensitive to
very low voltages (well below 30V) and very small currents. And, although
I didn't note any standards, per se, I did note a number of
recommendations. Apparently this is a well-known and long-studied area of
interest.
Regards, Art Michael
