[QUOTE="Jim62, post: 672013, member: 6655"] I just set up a 110v charger on some fence because the solar chargers weren't getting the message across. It's in a metal pole-type barn built with 8 posts (3" square tubing) set in the ground, in concrete. I grounded it by putting a screw in one of the posts and hooking the ground wire from there to the charger. Seemed like an excellent idea at first, but the more I think on it, the more I wonder if that's really a good setup to use. Seems to work pretty good, as I get right at 6,000 v. all over the fence, but I wonder about the "shockability" of it. Doesn't the AMPS have a lot to do with that? How would I test it, short of touching it my own self? I've pretty much ruled that method out.......... [/QUOTE]
