Fence circuit – All conductive parts or components within an energiser that are connected or
are intended to be connected, galvanically, to the output terminals.
Earth stake – Metal structure that is driven into the ground near an energiser and connected
electrically to the output earth terminal of the energiser, and that is independent of other eart-
hing arrangements.
Connecting lead – An electric conductor, used to connect the energiser to the electric fence or
the earth stake.
Electric fence – An electric fence used to contain animals within or exclude animals from a
particular area.
Pulsed conductors – Conductors which are subjected to high voltage pulses by the energiser.
Requirements for electric fences
Electric fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated and maintained in
a manner that minimises danger to persons, animals or their surroundings. Electric fence
constructions that are likely to lead to the entanglement of animals or persons shall be avoi-
ded.
This energiser is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have
been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the energiser
safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the energiser.
An electric fence shall not be supplied from two or more separate energisers.
For any two separate electric fences, each supplied from a separate energiser independently
timed, the distance between the wires of the two electric fences shall be at least 2 m (6'6"). 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 energiser.
A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one
or more offset electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The supporting devices for the elec-
trified wires shall be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are positioned at a minimum
distance of 150 mm (6") from the vertical plane of the non-electrified wires. The barbed wire
and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals. For safety reasons we recommend on off-
set fences only to use energisers with a maximum of 5 joules output energy.
Follow our recommendations regarding earthing. See "Installing and testing an earth system"
on page 37.
A distance of at least 10 m (33') shall be maintained between the energiser earth stake and
any other earthing system connected parts such as the power supply system protective earth or
the telecommunication system earth.
