Stray Voltage Investigator’s Training (SVIT)
This document database is an on-line version of the Stray Voltage Investigator's Training Course Resource CD, provided by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (WDATCP). The index contains a collection of various documents related to stray voltage. A majority of the documents are in Adobe Acrobat format (pdf). Some of the more frequently used web site links and one Excel spreadsheet for cattle water intake calculations are also contained within this CD. This is the first “cut” of this new educational resource. If you find corrections, refinements or suggested additions, please direct them to Roger Kasper.
