The following minimum distances must be observed when installing connection
lines and electric animal fences near high‑voltage lines:
»
When installing connection lines and electric animal fences near a high‑voltage
line, they may only be installed at a maximum height of 3 m above the ground.
This height must be maintained on each side of the vertical projection of
the outer conductor of the high‑voltage line on the ground. The following
distances apply:
∙
2 m for high-voltage lines with a nominal voltage up to 1,000 V
∙
15 m for high-voltage lines, with a rated voltage of more than 1,000 V
»
Follow the grounding instructions in the manual.
»
Keep a minimum distance of 10 m between any electrode of the energiser and
other grounding systems (e.g. protective grounding of a power distribution
system or a grounding of a telecommunication system).
»
Ensure that connection lines that are routed inside buildings are effectively
insulated from earthed, load‑bearing parts of the building. To ensure this,
use insulated high‑voltage cables.
»
Ensure that underground connection lines are routed through electrical
conduits made from insulating material or otherwise use insulated high‑
voltage cables.
»
Ensure that connection lines are not damaged by sinking animal hooves or
tractor wheels.
»
When installing the electric animal fence, do not use the electric conduit from
any external sources, third parties i.e. telecommunication companies or the
main power conduit entering the building.
»
The electric animal fence must be no less than 2.5 m away from earthed, metallic
objects (e.g. drinking troughs, water pipes). This is particularly important in
areas where people may be present.
»
Do not cross connection lines and electric animal fence wires over high‑voltage
or communication lines.
»
Avoid crossings with high‑voltage lines. If this cannot be avoided, the crossing
must be made below the power line at a 90° angle and as close as possible.
»
For 230V electric fence energisers, do not use inverters to supply the device.
Malfunctions, damage or destruction of the device may result. Use only properly
installed sockets for the power supply.
»
Do not power an electric animal fence with two separate electric fence
energisers or from the independent fence circuits of the same energiser.
»
Barbed wire or razor wire must not be electrified with an energiser.
»
Non-electrified barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more
offset electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The electrified wires must
be kept at a vertical distance of at least 150 mm from the non-electrified wires
by means of supports. Make sure that the non-electrified wire is earthed at
regular intervals.
