Disconnect energizer from fence and earth.
Measure across the fence and earth terminals
using a Gallagher fence volt meter. If the
voltage is less than 5000v, have energizer
repaired.
Improve the earth system by adding more
galvanised earth stakes to the earth system
until the earth voltage is 200V or below.
Check the electrical connections are secure e.g.
from the fence to the red terminal, from the
earth system to the green terminal, at gates
etc.
