Electric Fencing Basics
How Electric Fencing Works
Electric fencing is an easy-to-install system for containing animals or
keeping them out. A short, safe pulse of electricity creates a psychologi-
cal barrier that trains animals to avoid the fence. In order for the animal
to feel a shock, the voltage produced by the fence controller must
penetrate the animal’s hair, hide and hoof.
The system works when an animal provides an electrical path by touch-
ing the fence wire and the earth simultaneously. The electricity then
passes through the animal, into the soil and back to the ground rods,
which are connected to the fence controller. At that point the circuit is
complete and the animal instantly receives an electrical shock.
