Hi,

Grain dust is highly explosive. If you are outside the structure, mounting an external box you really don't have much to be concerned with. The risk is in an enclosed area (like the top of the head house).

I guess I don't really understand the explosion risk. The only thing I've ever heard of is the corn dryer catching fire, mostly due to dryer failure of some kind.

Is that you're speaking of directly related to tower sections on the grain leg or grain leg use in general?

Subject: [WISPA] Towers on grain legs


It was brought to my attention yesterday that some WISPs put tower sections on grain legs.

mks:  Yes.


How many of you have done this?

mks:  Almost everyone?  grin

mks: I started out on one, had to move due to a long cell phone ptp link. About ready to go back on one though.

Could you describe the particulars of those installations?

mks: Explosion risk!!!!!! Gotta use GOOD boxes and be VERY careful about sparks when plugging things in etc. I require that either a licensed electrician or the elevator owner's people do all work.

Pictures?

Did you have an engineer approve your designs?

mks: Nope. Other than the explosion risk, there's nothing really special about them.
