Puddles we had some outside contractors come into
our plant and ground to a nice clean pipe and do
some welding on a conveyor or lift table or maybe
part of a cross transfer conveyor at the end of
two conveyors. The nice clean pipe was electrical
conduit.

After the contractors left and production started
we had electrical problems half a dozen times per
shift with the electrical equipment in the area.
No one could track down the exact location of the
problem. We lived with the problem until a long
weekend or a summer or Christmas shutdown, can't
remember which. The electricians went in and
completely rewired all the affected equipment.
Problem solved.

Clamp the ground close to where you are welding. I
know you know this now.
Ever see a welder ground to a rail road track and
weld to a box car? He might get more than a a$$
chewing.
