[QUOTE="cowboy43, post: 1272385, member: 10124"] I am retired from a electric coop , like you said it is a bad ground connection , it could be on the transformer , where the meter loop ties into coop service, or in the meter base, Or in your house, a ground rod is used for safety not to ground the circuit for good voltage , if all connections are good where I mentioned, a ground rod is not needed to supply proper voltage, a ground rod is for safety. I hate to say this but some coop employees are linemen working on 7200 volts or higher they are not electricians or troubleshooters, when it comes to working on secondary voltage they are lost, I have seen experienced lineman with years of service make mistakes when it comes to trouble shooting, it is the same with electricians because they can wire a house does not mean they can shoot trouble, You have a bad ground connection either on your side in the house , in the meter base or the coop has a bad ground, it needs to be properly diagnosed quickly because where the bad connection is located is heating up and could cause a fire. You said this stared a month ago, the ground was not that dry a month ago and past years have been drier, I do not mean to be blunt but I believe you are barking up the wrong tree with the ground rod theory , I am just concerned for you and your family's safety. Good luck [/QUOTE]
