OPERATION AND LIMITATIONS OF THE ELECTRIC FENCE FOR ANIMALS
An electric fence consists of an electric fence energiser and an insulated fence, whereby
the unit supplies the fence with short electrical pulses. The electric fence represents a
"physical" and a "psychological" barrier for animals. The short impulses with high volta-
ge are very unpleasant and animals learn very quickly to respect the electric fence.
A well installed electric fence can provide a high degree of security and offers many ad-
vantages compared to a mechanical fence. As a psychological barrier an electric shock
can prevent the animal from crossing a fence. It requires less work and less material,
can be easily modified, is suitable for a wide variety of animals and offers a high level of
protection against injury.
ENERGISER OPERATION
The electric fence energiser sends an electric pulse through the fence approximately
every second. These impulses give the animal a short, sharp but safe shock, which is
not dangerous to the animal, but is sufficient that the animal avoids the fence.
HANDY TIPS
Check your local regulations for fencing an area. You may need a permit. Regularly
check that the electric fencer is working by looking at the flashing indicator light. Check
the energiser regularly. Remove fallen branches, weeds or bushes, as these will cause
a short circuit in the fence and thus affect the fence security. All animals need time to
learn to respect the fence. Thus training can take several days and the fence may be
easily adjusted if necessary.
Jumping animals may be difficult to fence in. You may then have to raise the fence in
order to achieve best fence security. Use high-quality insulators. Inferior or cracked in-
sulators and plastic pipes are not recommended because they can cause short circuits.
