[QUOTE="dcara, post: 379860, member: 473"] Here are my comments First, be careful welding galvanized posts as the gas/smoke from the zinc coating is very toxic. That said, galvanized posts can make good ground rods but must have good contact directly to the ground, not through concrete. Second, the lower resistance due to the larger wire is not much of an issue due to something called source impedance; and, the ratio of the wire impedance to both the source and load impedances. In this application even cutting the wire resistance by 10 times would only increase the energy delivered to the animal (or other load) by an insignificant amount. Third, same as what mntr and dun said [/QUOTE]
