How does an electric fence work?
An electric fence system comprises an energiser and an
insulated fence. The energiser puts very short pulses of
electricity onto the fence line. These pulses have a high
voltage, but are of very short duration (less than
3/10,000ths of a second). However, a shock from an
electric fence pulse is very uncomfortable and animals
quickly learn to respect electric fences. An electric
fence is not only a physical barrier, but is also a strong
psychological barrier.
What are the benefits of an electric fence?

fencing:

wider than the other). This plug will fit in a

not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
