Requirements for electric animal fences
In accordance with Annex BB Section BB.1 of IEC 60335-2-76
Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment shall be installed, operated and
maintained in a manner that minimises danger to persons, animals or their
surroundings.
Electric animal fence constructions that are likely to lead to the entanglement of
animals or persons shall be avoided.
WARNING!
Avoid contacting electric fence wires especially with the head, neck or
torso. Do not climb over, through or under a multi-wire electric fence. Use a gate or
a specially designed crossing point.
An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate energizers or from
independent fence circuits of the same energizer.
For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied from a separate energizer
independently timed, the distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences
shall be at least 2.5 m (8'). If this gap is to be closed, this shall be effected by means
of electrically non-conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.
Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energizer.
A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support
one or more off-set electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The supporting devices
for the electrified wires shall be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are
positioned at a minimum distance of 150 mm (6") from the vertical plane of the non-
electrified wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
Follow our recommendations regarding earthing.
