TIP 6: IMPROVING THE GROUNDING
1. Drive the grounding stake roughly 1 m deep into permanently moist soil 10 m away from the
building.
2. Drive in several grounding stakes at a distance of at least 3 m and connect them with one
another. The grounding stakes must be made of rustproof material, e.g. stainless steel, or must
be galvanised.
TIP 7: TYPICAL SET-UP OF AN ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEM

1. ENERGISER
It supplies power to the fence system. The correct choice of device depends on the total fence
length, animal species to be fenced in or out and available power supply options. There are 9 V
battery energisers, 12V rechargeable battery energisers and mains energisers.
2. 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.
I nfo
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.
3. HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE
This cable is multi-purpose. It is used, among other things, to connect the energiser to the
grounding rod or connecting several rods together. In addition, high-voltage cables are used to
pass electricity close to the ground or underground.
