• 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.
• Do not install an earth (ground) system for your electric fence within 10 m (33 ) of any power,
telecommunica ons or other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to eff ec vely insulate from the earthed structural parts of the
building and where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Do not use household electrical 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
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 on
the ground surface, for a distance of:
- 2 m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
- 15 m for power lines opera ng at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.
• Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or training animals such as cows
need only be supplied from low output energizers to obtain sa sfactory and safe performance.
• In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roos ng on buildings, no electric fence wire shall be
connected to an earth stake. A warning sign shall be fi ed to every point where persons may gain ready access
to the conductors.
