Building an Electric Fence

Components of an electric fence
An electric fence system comprises the following elements:
• An energiser.
• An earth system. This comprises a number of metal stakes inserted into the ground, which
are connected to the earth terminal on the energiser.
• PATURA insulated underground cables. Used to connect the energiser to the earth and fence.
• An insulated fence. Connected to the fence output terminal of the energiser. Fences can be
made to a variety of designs (see below).
Note:
The animal receives a shock when it completes a circuit between the fence and the earth
system. The fence has all live wires and requires conductive soils.
