Electric animal fence
– An electric fence used to
contain animals within or exclude animals from a
particular area.
Electric security fence
purposes which comprises an electric fence and
a physical barrier electrically isolated from the
electric fence.
Physical barrier
– A barrier not less than 1.5 m
(5') high intended to prevent inadvertent contact
with the pulsed conductors of the electric fence.
Physical barriers are typically constructed from
vertical sheeting, rigid vertical bars, rigid mesh,
rods or chainwire mesh.
Requirements for electric animal
fences
Electric animal fences and their ancillary
equipment shall be installed, operated and
maintained in a manner that minimises danger
to persons, animals or their surroundings.
Warning!
Avoid contacting electric fence
wires especially with the head, neck or torso.
Do not climb over, through or under a multi-
wire electric fence. Use a gate or a specially
designed crossing point.
This energizer is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the energizer by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the energizer.
Electric animal fence constructions that are likely
to lead to the entanglement of animals or
persons shall be avoided.
– A fence used for security
An electric animal fence shall not be supplied
from two separate energizers or from
independent fence circuits of the same energizer.
For any two separate electric animal fences,
each supplied from a separate energizer
independently timed, the distance between the
wires of the two electric animal fences shall be
at least 2.5 m (8'). If this gap is to be closed, this
shall be effected by means of electrically non-
conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.
Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified
by an energizer.
A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed
wire or razor wire may be used to support one or
more offset electrified wires of an electric animal
fence. The supporting devices for the electrified
wires shall be constructed so as to ensure that
these wires are positioned at a minimum
distance of 150 mm (6‛) from the vertical plane
of the non-electrified wires. The barbed wire and
razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
Follow our recommendations regarding earthing.
A distance of at least 10 m (33') shall be
maintained between the energizer earth
electrode and any other earthing system
connected parts such as the power supply
system protective earth or the
telecommunication system earth.
Connecting leads that are run inside buildings
shall be effectively insulated from the earthed
structural parts of the building. This may be
achieved by using insulated high voltage cable.
Connecting leads that are run underground shall
be run in conduit of insulating material or else
insulated high voltage cable shall be used. Care
must be taken to avoid damage to the
connecting leads due to the effects of animal
hooves or vehicle wheels sinking into the
ground.
