Requirements for electric animal
fences
Electric animal fences and their ancillary
equipment shall be installed, operated and
maintained in a manner that minimises danger
to persons, animals or their surroundings.
Warning!
Avoid contacting electric fence
wires especially with the head, neck or
torso. Do not climb over, through or under a
multi-wire electric fence. Use a gate or a
specially designed crossing point.
This energizer is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the energizer by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the energizer.
Electric animal fence constructions that are
likely to lead to the entanglement of animals or
persons shall be avoided.
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 timed, the distance between the
wires of the two electric animal fences shall be
at least 2.5 m (8'). If this gap is to be closed,
this shall be effected by means of electrically
non-conductive material or an isolated metal
barrier.
Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified
by an energizer.
A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed
wire or razor wire may be used to support one
or more off-set electrified wires of an electric
animal fence. The supporting devices for the
electrified wires shall be constructed so as to
ensure that these wires are positioned at a
minimum distance of 150 mm (6") from the
10
vertical plane of the non-electrified wires. The
barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at
regular intervals.
Follow our recommendations regarding
Installing and testing an earth
earthing. See
system
on page 8.
A distance of at least 10 m (33') shall be
maintained between the energizer earth
electrode and any other earthing system
connected parts such as the power supply
system protective earth or the
telecommunication system earth.
Connecting leads that are run inside buildings
shall be effectively insulated from the earthed
structural parts of the building. This may be
achieved by using insulated high voltage cable.
Connecting leads that are run underground
shall be run in conduit of insulating material or
else insulated high voltage cable shall be used.
Care must be taken to avoid damage to the
connecting leads due to the effects of animal
hooves or vehicle wheels sinking into the
ground.
Connecting leads shall not be installed in the
same conduit as the mains supply wiring,
communication cables or data cables.
Connecting leads and electric animal fence
wires shall not cross above overhead power or
communication 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 connecting 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.
