7.4 THE RIGHT GROUNDING
WA R NIN G AGA IN ST ELE CTRICAL VOLTAGES
»
For grounding, follow the safety instructions for location and installation
(see section 2.2).
»
Keep a distance of 10 m from other earthed systems (e.g. grounding of a building
power supply system or the grounding of a telecommunications system).
»
Make sure that the grounding is not accessible to animals or other people
to avoid possible damage. However, the grounding must be accessible for
possible maintenance.
The correct grounding of your fence is extremely important! If you ensure sufficient grounding,
the energiser will reach its full performance and you will achieve the best possible fence security.
∙
You should choose a damp and overgrown place for grounding.
∙
Galvanised metal stakes with a minimum length of 75 cm (e.g. art. no. 44219) serve as ground
stakes.
∙
It is generally advised to use galvanised metal rods with a minimum length of 75 cm. For dry
soils and long fences, place additional grounding rods at intervals of about 2–3 m to improve
the grounding. We recommend Art: 33615 for the connection cable between the grounding rods.
Ti p for t he rig ht distance
The following applies: Length of the first earth rod + length of the second earth rod = min.
distance between the two earth rods (ex.: Grounding rod 1 (0.75 m) + grounding rod 2 (1.5
m) = min. 2.25 m distance between both grounding rods)
7.5 BUILDING THE FENCE
In addition to correct grounding, you need suitable conductor material and insulators for the ideal
electric fence. Conductor material has a low electrical resistance, which allows the current to flow
better. Insulators have a high electrical resistance and are used to hold or guide the conductor
material. Seek advice to find out which products are suitable for your purposes.
To ensure better conductivity of your fencing system, observe the following points:
∙
Keep your fence free of vegetation at all times. Do not run your fence through hedges and
prevent branches or bushes from closing the circuit. Overgrowth reduces the voltage of your
fence and the impact strength of the current pulse may no longer be strong enough.
∙
Make sure that the conductor material of your fence does not touch the ground, e.g. due to
sagging.
∙
Only use fence posts with insulators to insulate the conductor material from the post and the
earth. In this way, you prevent voltage from being lost and ensure that the desired current
strength flows through the conductor material of your fence.
I nfo
It is not necessary that you build a closed fence. You can end the fence as you wish.
