Thinking about having an electric fence installed at your residential home, commercial property or industrial factory? Here is what you need to know about how they work, in order to decide if it is the right fence choice for you.
To start with, there are a number of reasons for choosing an electric fence, such as its low cost, easy construction, durable capabilities, universal applications, its capability to improve an already existing fence, its simplicity and flexibility and its protection possibilities. Among other benefits and suitability possibilities.
Once an electric fence is installed properly, it works by inflicting a shock when it comes into contact with an animated object, such as an animal. The electric current will pass through the animal to earth ground and completing the circuit. It is very important to have a properly installed ground circuit.
An electric fence must be designed to suit your specific use, such as if it needs to be able to withstand pressure from animals, heavy winds and/or weather events. The fences charger – also known as the energiser or controller – must also have enough power capability in order to be effective on the length and type of objects being controlled or secured.
It cannot come into contact with any plant life, such as surrounding trees, shrubs or grass, as this would pose a serious fire risk to the area. This is also true of any conductive materials, such as nails or fence posts.
The charger is equally as important as the fencing, as without a suitable charger for your fencing it will not function as needed.
