Building an Electric Fence

Components of an electric fence
An electric fence system comprises the following elements:
• An energiser.
• A n earth system: This comprises a number of metal stakes inserted into the ground, which are
connected to the earth terminal of the energiser.
• PATURA insulated underground cables: Used to connect the energiser to the earth and fence.
• A n 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.
