It has been quite some time but I know this was discussed at some point. I have a stock tank heater that is putting volts into the water. I ran a 100 foot cord from the shed to this pen last year but it was just one boar so I used a heated bucket. The element doesn't touch the water. I never had any issues.
This year I have some feeder pigs in that pen. I threw in one of those 75 gallon recycled tire stock tanks and they have been using it all fall. I put in a brand new stock tank heater and it is shocking them. Not like electric fence level but enough to make them jump. I can tell you that the ground prong is part of it because when I unplugged the heater one came and drank. While he was drinking I plugged in just the ground prong into the cord and he got shocked. It isn't much, but I am getting residual from somewhere.
Do I test across the prongs of the tank heater or from the water to the ground? I thought it was odd when everyone was talking about it years ago, but I remember JD Seller saying something about driving in a ground rod next to each tank. Do I do that and then run the other end into the water?
What do I test to determine the fault and how do I fix it?

An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
