Temporary electric fencing
A temporary fence can be quickly erected and
easily moved allowing the farmer to:
 Make smaller paddocks (fields)
 Keep herds of animals separated
 Ration feed
Note:
Use more wires for smaller animals and
wild animals. Politape should be used when
greater visibility is required (e.g. horses).
An example of a temporary fence is shown
below.
Safety considerations
Definition of special terms
Energizer
– An appliance that is intended to
periodically deliver voltage impulses to a fence
connected to it.
Fence
– A barrier for animals or for the purpose
of security, comprising one or more conductors
such as metal wires, rods or rails.
Electric fence
– A barrier which includes one or
more electric conductors, insulated from earth,
to which electric pulses are applied by an
energizer.
Fence circuit
– All conductive parts or
components within an energizer that are
connected or are intended to be connected,
galvanically, to the output terminals.
Earth electrode
– Metal structure that is driven
into the ground near an energizer and
connected electrically to the Fence earth
terminal of the energizer, and that is
independent of other earthing arrangements.
Connecting lead
– An electric conductor, used
to connect the energizer to the electric fence or
the earth electrode.
Electric animal fence
– An electric fence used to
contain animals within or exclude animals from
a particular area.
Electric security fence
security purposes which comprises an electric
fence and a physical barrier electrically isolated
from the electric fence.
Physical barrier
– A barrier not less than 1.5 m
(5') high intended to prevent inadvertent
contact with the pulsed conductors of the
electric fence. Physical barriers are typically
constructed from vertical sheeting, rigid vertical
bars, rigid mesh, rods or chainwire mesh.
