Installation of Energiser and Fence
Electric fences should be installed and operated so that they cause no
danger to persons, animals or surroundings and as far as is reasonably
practicable, they are out of reach of children and not subject to mechanical
damage. Never connect more than one energiser to the same single or
multi-wire fence. Any other fence systems powered by a different energiser
should be at least 2.5 metres apart. If this gap is to be closed, use non-
conductive material or an isolated metal barrier. Any electric fence or part
thereof installed along a public road or pathway should be identified by
warning signs at regular intervals. The warning sign should
have a yellow background and be at least 100 mm x 200 mm.
The words “Caution Electric Fence” or symbol should appear in
black, permanent marking on both sides of the sign and be at
least 25mm in height.
• Barbed wire must not be electrified.
• If an electric fence has to be installed in the vicinity of overhead power
lines it should not cross above it or run in parallel to it for any great
distance. If it is necessary to pass under overhead powerlines it should be
done at right angles and the vertical distance between any fence wire and
the surface of the earth should not exceed two metres.
• If an electric fence has to be installed near any communication lines, the
distance from the lines and the fence or any part of it should be more than
two metres.
• If the energiser is installed in the vicinity of any building, care must be
taken to ensure that the earth for the electric fence is more than 10 metres
away from any domestic electricity board earth or telecommunications
system earth.
• Follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper earthing of your electric
fence.
• Use insulated cable for connecting leads that run inside buildings or
underground. Take care to avoid damage from animal hooves or vehicle
tyres and use a conduit of insulating material if needed.
• Do not install connecting leads in the same conduit as the mains supply
wiring, communication cables or data cables.
• Low output energisers provide satisfactory and safe performance for
deterring birds, household pets and training animals such as cows.
• If the electric fence is intended to deter birds from roosting on buildings,
do not connect the fence wire to the earth terminal. Use a warning sign at
any point where a person may access the fence wire.
