RE: [RC] electrocution from tank heater - Jim HollandJeez! Unknown reason? Grrrr! If you are using a tank heater, be damn sure it's on a GFI circuit. This is common sense! <sigh> Jim, Sun of Dimanche+, and Mahada Magic -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp- owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vanessa S Waters Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 8:55 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] electrocution from tank heater Horrible news from my neighbor... Patti Coles needs our prayers and sympathy. Her new imported bred 7yr Friesian Ster mare was electrocuted today while drinking from a new plastic tank with a new heater in the bottom. It seems that for some unknown reason the tank had a reading of 240 v when tested with a tester. The barn is just being built and either a conduit was compromised with a backhoe or some other reason why the ground failed. Patti is very new to horses and is devastated at witnessing with her own eyes this horrible tragedy. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? In 25 years of using tanks with tank heaters, I have never heard of this.
