this shall be by means of electrically non-conductive material
or an isolated metal barrier.
Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an electric
fence charger.
A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed wire or razor
wire may be used to support one or more offset 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 6" (15 cm)
from the vertical plane of the non-electrified wires. The barbed
wire and razor wire shall be grounded at regular intervals.
A distance of at least 33' (10 m) shall be maintained between
the electric fence energizer ground electrode and any other
grounding system connected parts such as the power supply
system protective ground or the telecommunication system
ground.
Connecting leads that are run inside buildings shall be
effectively insulated from the grounded structural parts of the
building. This may be achieved by using insulated high
voltage cable.
Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in
conduit of insulating material or else insulated high voltage
cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the
connecting leads due to the effects of animal hooves or vehicle
wheels sinking into the ground.
