INTRODUCTION
THE ENERGISERS
The MT5, MT15 and MT35 are 15 and 35 km rated# mains (230VAC) electric fence energisers designed for small
to medium sized permanent fencing applications.
The BT12 and BT20 are 12 and 20 km rated# battery (D.C) electric fence energisers designed for small to
medium sized permanent fencing applications.
The MT60 and MT100 are 60 and 100 km rated# mains (230 VAC) electric fence energisers designed for
medium to large sized permanent fencing applications.
The BT50 and BT80 are 50 and 80km rated# battery (D.C) electric fence energisers designed for medium to
large sized permanent fencing applications.
SOLAR
When using solar power the BT12, 20, 50 and 80 will run from a battery that is charged from a solar panel.
The BT12 requires a 10W panel and at least a 7Ah battery (preferably 15Ah).
The BT20* requires a 20W panel and at least a 15Ah battery (perferably 30Ah).
The BT50* requires a 40W panel and at least a 30Ah battery (perferably 60Ah).
The BT80* requires a 40W panel and at least a 60Ah battery (perferably 120Ah).
*Solar regulator recommended.
The exact maximum kilometres able to be energised depends on many factors, for example the earth resistance,
number and spacing of wires on the fence, type of insulators, resistance of wire etc. The amount of grass or
scrub touching the wires also alters the performance. Fence circuit layout is also very important. Another
factor is acceptable fence voltage, for some stock situations this is 3kV others require more or less. Therefore
the rated km is a guide only.
