[QUOTE="hayray, post: 666971, member: 3046"] I live in pretty moist area so I assume my ground system is pretty good. Is there any advantage for me to use a earth return system? I put a short stretch of 5 wire high tensile on the back side of my farm as a barrier fence for this winter between the mommas and the feeders. I ran three hots and two neutrals that I stapled to the wood post. My tester reads out that I am getting 1 KV on the neutrals. I did not hook a ground rod up yet to the neutrals, should I ? This line is about a 1/4 mile away from the Energizer and ground rods. I am getting a pretty big voltage drop on the energized when I connect this short line but not detecting faults. Why am I getting the voltage in the neutrals and how should I do this? I have always just ran all hots but after reading about the earth return system it seems to make sense, especially when we get alot of snow. Thanks in advance for advice. Ray [/QUOTE]
