4. FUNCTION ELECTRIC FENCE
How the electric fence works?
Electric fence system consist from the energizer and fencing marked with posts and
conductors. The energizer creates regular high-voltage impulses that generate a voltage
between the conducting material and the ground. When an animal (or a person, vegetation
or similar) creates a connection between the ground and the conducting material, the circuit
is completed. Generated impulses are unpleasant, but not dangerous to people or animals as
they only act for a short period of time and results in the desired deterrent effect. The impulse
lasts for a matter of milliseconds. These fences serve not only to enclose an area, but also act
as a deterrent e.g. to protect against wild boars.
Benefits of electric fence systems:
• Electric fences are long-lasting, simple to put up and great value for money compared with
normal fences.
• It is easy to assembly and flexible for using.
• Designed for guarding and protecting different animals.
• Compared to other fences, such as barbed wire, it does not cause any damage to the animals.
