[QUOTE="Walking W, post: 1752966, member: 24986"] Grounding is important. Keeping the grounding rods in damp earth is important. Unless you live in the mountains of New Mexico, you probably don't get frequent rain. Water the area where you sink the ground rods or locate them somewhere that stays damp, if you can. I placed mine downhill from the gutters on my shop where any rainfall will concentrate to that area. I live NW of Ft Worth and get about double the rainfall as most of New Mexico( I was born and raised in Las Cruces). Even with good grounding, the other part of the circuit is the often dry ground the cattle are standing on. If you are in dry country, you need more joules than somewhere that gets more rain.
