How does an electric fence work?
An electric fence system comprises an energiser and an insulated fence. The energiser puts
very short pulses of electricity onto the fence line. These pulses have a high voltage, but are
of very short duration (less than 3/10,000ths of a second). However, a shock from an electric
fence pulse is very uncomfortable and animals quickly learn to respect electric fences.
An electric fence is not only a physical barrier, but is also a strong psychological barrier.
What are the benefits of an electric fence?
Ein Elektrozaun hat viele Vorteile gegenüber einem herkömmlichen Zaun:
• Requires less labour and materials to construct.
• Flexibility to change or add paddocks when required. The use of strip grazing techniques
can allow temporary fencing to be quickly and easily erected or removed.
• Controls a broader range of animals.
• Minimises damage to expensive livestock when compared with other fencing mechanisms,
for example barbed wire.
Key to symbols on the energiser
Fence earth terminal. Connect the fence earth terminal to the energiser earth system.
Fence earth monitor terminal (P4600/P6000 only). Connect the fence earth monitor
terminal to a separate earth stake (see "Earth monitoring" on page 56).
Fence half voltage terminal. Connect the fence half voltage terminal to the fence
Fence full voltage terminal. Connect the fence full voltage terminal to the fence.
Risk of electric shock! This energiser should be opened or repaired only by
qualified personnel.
