Electric fencing and your
energizer
Congratulations on the purchase of your
energizer. This product has been designed using
the latest technology and construction
techniques. It has been engineered to give
superior performance and many years of service.
It is important to read these instructions
carefully and thoroughly. They contain
important safety information and will assist you
in ensuring that your electric fencing system
gives maximum performance and reliability.
How does an electric fence work?
An electric fence system comprises an energizer
and an insulated fence. The energizer 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
electric 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 materials to
construct.
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.
