Handy hint
Inadequate fence lead-out is
often the reason for poor voltage
on the fence. Particularly on
either larger fence systems or
fence systems heavily loaded with
vegetation.
Lead-out is defi ned as the wire
system that takes the power from
the energizer to the centre of the
fence system - not just from the
energizer to the fence! Basically,
the more wires connected in
parallel, the better the voltage at
the end of the fence.
If the centre of the fence system is more than
100m (300 ft) from the energizer, at least
1 x 2.5mm wire is required. If the centre of
the fence system is more than 1km (5/8 mile)
from the energizer, a minimum of
3 x 2.5mm wires or a single
High Conductive 2.5mm
“PowerWire” is required.
Larger fence systems or
heavily loaded fence
systems with large
energizers may require more
wires to adequately transfer
the power from the energizer
onto the fence system.
