ENERGIZER AND FENCE MAINTENANCE CHART

Fault
Energizer doesn't operate
Electric fence voltage is
below 3000V or your
stock are escaping
12
Possible Cause(s)
Energizer Off
Faulty Energizer
Faulty Energizer
Inadequate earthing
Short on the fence line
Solution
Switch ON
Have Energizer repaired
Unplug the energizer from
the power supply and
remove the fence wire
from the Red terminal. Plug
energizer in again. Using a
Digital Volt Meter (G5030)
check the voltage across
the terminals. If the voltage
is less than 5000V, have
Energizer repaired.
Improve the earth system
by adding more galvanised
earth stakes to the earth
system until the earth voltage
is 200V or below.
Check the electrical
connections are secure
eg. from the fence to the
red terminal, from the earth
system to the green terminal,
at gates etc.
Check the voltage on the
fence every 33m (100ft)
using the Digital Volt
Meter. Note if the voltage
is dropping. The closer to a
fault, the lower the voltage
reading will be. Become
aware of things that cause
faults and always be on the
lookout for: stray pieces of
wire on the fence, heavy
vegetation growth, cracked
or broken insulators, broken
wires.
