Lightning Strikes
Lightning strikes can dam age En er giz ers. Dam age can be
wmin i mised by dis con nect ing the En er giz er from the fence
line and un plug ging it from the pow er sup ply dur ing elec tri cal
storms.
The Gallagher Adjustable Lightning Diverter G6480 with a
'Crow's foot' earth configuration is recommended to min i mise
En er giz er damage.
Lightning is trans ferred to the earth sys tem rather than
through the En er giz er, thereby reducing the likelihood of
Energizer damage.

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 con nec tions 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 (G5030). 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 in su la tors, broken wires.
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 ter mi nals. If the voltage
is less than 5000V, have Energizer repaired.
