• If connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power
line, their height above the ground shall not exceed 3 m.
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projec on of the outermost conductors
of the power line on the ground surface, for a distance of:-
• 2 m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
• 15 m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.
• Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or
training animals such as cows need only be supplied from low output energizers to
obtain sa sfactory and safe performance.
• In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roos ng on buildings, no

• the symbol shown:
• The inscrip on shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the
warning sign and have a height of at least 25mm.
• Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal
fence circuit provides a degree of isola on between the fence circuit and the supply
mains equivalent to that provided by the energizer.
