Choosing the Correct Electric Fence Energiser

The maximum fence-distance figure should not be treated as the only consideration when selecting an energiser.

Fence performance can be affected by:

• Total fence length
• Number of electrified wires
• Electric netting
• Vegetation touching the fence
• Type and quality of conductor
• Battery condition
• Quality of the earth system
• Number and type of animals being contained or excluded

A well-installed earth system and good-quality fencing components are essential for getting the best performance from any electric fence energiser.
