Stray Voltage Investigation

The series of Stray Voltage Investigator’s courses provides different layers of information about stray voltage from basic concepts and definitions to hands on exercises, measurements, and calculations to conduct a stray voltage investigation. Our excellent instructors for this year are Michael Haas and Brian Costello from Alliant Energy, Paul Ortmann from Idaho Power Company, and Doug Reinemann from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
