Temporary electric fencing
Speedrite offers a range of products that allow the farmer to
construct a temporary electric fence. A temporary fence that
can be quickly erected and easily moved allows the farmer to:

•
Make smaller paddocks (fields)
Keep herds of animals separated
Ration feed
Note: Use more wires for smaller animals and wild animals.
Politape should be used when greater visibility is required (e.g.
horses).
An example of a temporary fence is shown below.
Safety considerations
Definition of special terms
Energizer – An appliance that is intended to periodically deliver
voltage impulses to a fence connected to it.
Fence – A barrier for animals or for the purpose of security,
comprising one or more conductors such as metal wires, rods
or rails.
Electric fence – A barrier which includes one or more electric
conductors, insulated from earth, to which electric pulses are
applied by an energizer.
Fence circuit – All conductive parts or components within an
energizer that are connected or are intended to be connected,
galvanically, to the output terminals.
Earth electrode – Metal structure that is driven into the ground
near an energizer and connected electrically to the Fence earth
terminal of the energizer, and that is independent of other
earthing arrangements.
Connecting lead – An electric conductor, used to connect the
energizer to the electric fence or the earth electrode.
Electric animal fence – An electric fence used to contain
animals within or exclude animals from a particular area.
Electric security fence – A fence used for security purposes
which comprises an electric fence and a physical barrier
electrically isolated from the electric fence.
Physical barrier – A barrier not less than 1.5 m (5') high
intended to prevent inadvertent contact with the pulsed
conductors of the electric fence. Physical barriers are typically
constructed from vertical sheeting, rigid vertical bars, rigid
mesh, rods or chainwire mesh.
Public access area – Any area where persons are protected
from inadvertent contact with pulsed conductors by a physical
barrier.
Pulsed conductors – Conductors which are subjected to high
voltage pulses by the energizer.
Secure area – The side of an electric security fence where a
person may come into contact with the electric fence, without
the protection of a physical barrier.
Requirements for electric animal fences
Electric animal fences and their ancillary equipment shall be
installed, operated and maintained in a manner that minimises
danger to persons, animals or their surroundings.
This energizer is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by
a responsible person to ensure that they can use the energizer
safely.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the energizer.
Electric animal fence constructions that are likely to lead to the
entanglement of animals or persons shall be avoided.
An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two
separate energizers or from independent fence circuits of the
same energizer.
For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied
from a separate energizer independently timed, the distance
between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at
least 2 m (6'6"). If this gap is to be closed, this shall be
effected by means of electrically non-conductive material or an
isolated metal barrier.
Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an
energizer.
