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 elec­
tric fence is not only a physical barrier, but is also a strong psychological barrier.
What are the benefits of an electric fence?
An electric fence has many benefits over conventional fencing:
• Requires less labour and material to construct than conventional fencing.
• 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.

Installation

• The energiser must be located in a shelter protected
from weather, preferably in a building without fire
hazard.
• Mount the energiser close to a power outlet.
• Mount the energiser out of reach of children.
• Use the template printed inside the back cover of this
manual to locate fixing points.
