contac ng the fence with the head, mouth, neck or torso. Do not
climb over, through or under a mul -wire electric fence. Use a gate
or a specially designed crossing point.
• 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
med, the distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at least 2.5m. If this gap
is to be closed, this shall be eff ected by means of electrically non-conduc ve material or an isolated metal
barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrifi ed by an energizer.
• A non-electrifi ed fence incorpora ng barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more
off -set electrifi ed wires of an electric animal fence. The suppor ng devices for the electrifi ed wires shall
be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are posi oned at a minimum distance of 150 mm from
the ver cal plane of the non-electrifi ed wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular
intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer's recommenda ons regarding earthing.
• A distance of at least 10 m shall be maintained between the energizer earth electrode and any
other earthing system connected parts such as the power supply system protec ve earth or the
telecommunica on system earth.
• Connec ng leads that are run inside buildings shall be eff ec vely insulated from the earthed structural
parts of the building. This may be achieved by using insulated high voltage cable.
• Connec ng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insula ng material or else insulated
high voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connec ng leads
due to the eff ects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connec ng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communica on
cables or data cables.
• Connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communica on
lines.
• Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing cannot be
avoided it shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at right angles to it.
• If connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the
clearances shall not be less than those shown in the table below.
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Power line Voltage V
Less than or equal to 1 000
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000
Greater than 33 000
• If connec ng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height
above the ground shall not exceed 3 m.
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projec on of the outermost conductors of the power line
