If a fuse or circuit breaker frequently blows, the circuit may be inadequate for the equipment. Make sure all electrical systems are properly grounded. Keep water and electricity separated. Make sure electric lines are high enough to allow tall machinery to safely clear them.
Electricity is an essential source of energy on farms.
However, few resources have a greater potential to cause harm than electricity. Electrical systems will function almost indefinitely if properly installed and not overloaded or physically abused. If there are any doubts about the electrical circuits, wiring and equipment on your farm, have a licensed electrician inspect them. Electrical Panels Electricity enters the farm through a control panel and a main switch where a person can shut off all the power in an emergency. This control panel contains either fuses or circuit breakers.
