3. Grounding rod / earthing
The basic requirement for a functional electric fence, optimal fence voltage and fence security is good
grounding. The ideal distance between grounding rods is 3 m and they should be pushed as deep as
possible into the ground. In accordance to VDE, fence and house grounding must be at least 10m apart.
Tip:
Ground rods must be rust-resistant. In dry conditions, watering the grounding rods to improve the
grounding and to have sufficient voltage at the fence often helps. As standard, 1-1.5m long rods
are used.
4. Fence connection cable
This cable is used to connect the energiser to the electric fence. A high voltage insulated cable is
recommended for this purpose. The connection can be made directly from the energiser to the fence,
but also via an intermediate lightning protection device or a fence switch.
Tip:
Depending on the type of the conductor material, there are prefabricated cables with eyelets or
connectors at the ends for quick and easy installation.
5. Connection cable
Connection cables are used to carry voltage to all conductor rows of the electric fence system.
This allows two or three rows to be connected together and distribute the current.
Tip:
Depending on the length of the fence, it is recommended to install connecting cables
every 200 - 400m.
6. Warning signs
The signposting of electric fences is mandatory in public areas. The signs must be clearly visible and
attached to the fence approx. every 50 - 100 m. Check with your local authority the distance required
in your area.
Tip:
Warning signs are available in different languages.
FAQ
Must an electric fence loop back to the beginning?
No, because the circuit is closed by contact of animals or vegetation over the ground.
Can I connect several fences to the same energiser?
Yes, if the energiser is strong enough.
Can I connect two electric fencers to one electric fence?
ABSOLUTELY NOT, under no circumstances, as this can have a fatal outcome.
Why should vegetation on the fence be avoided?
Any leakage, either through vegetation (e.g. grass, branches) or damaged insulators, whereby the current
is discharged directly into the ground, leads to the loss of voltage on the fence.
