| Operation concept of electric fence |
|
An electric fence is simple, fast and cheap to build comparing to a mechanical fence. The electric pulse takes care that the animals stay away from the fence. Your fence hardly will be damaged and will last longer.
The shock from an electric fence system is achieved by making short-circuit. This goes as follows: 1. The fencer gives current pulses 2. These impulses are fed through a connection cable to the fence. 3. The fence consists of conducting materials, often steel, stainless steel or copper, sometimes incorporated in synthetic materials, like rope, tape and wire. 4. The insulators on the posts prevent the fence to connect with earth. 5. When an animal touches the fence, the current pulses go through the body to earth. 6. Through the ground (earth) the current pulses go to the earthpin(s). 7. The earthpin is connected with the earth output of the fencer, with which the circuit is closed. Necessities for building a fence. 2. Conductors: these can be wire, tape or rope 3. Insulators: depending on the existing chosen posts and conductors to be used. 4. Connections: need to be installed in a proper way to prevent disturbances. Please use the especially developed materials. 5. Fencer: Depending on the presence of mains connection, length of the fence and type of animals you want to keep, you choose the right fencer. 6. The earthing has to be installed heavier, when the fencer is more powerful. Without a proper earthing your fencer will not function sufficiently. The earthing can be improved by raising the number of pins and/or deeper earth. 7. Passages and gates. Install these in a way that if the gate is open, the connection in the fence system is not disconnected. 8. For this purpose you can use heavy-duty high-voltage cable to make an underground connection between both sides of the passage. 9. When everything is installed you can test the system
