Electrifying the Fence

Choosing your Energizer
It is vital that the energizer you choose has sufficient power to meet your needs. The marketing of electric fence energizers is extremely competitive and manufacturers wildly overstate the length of fence each energizer can adequately electrify. A simple rule of thumb is to match your length of fence to 1/10 the energizer's rating. Part of the reason is that you will be electrifying 3 or more strands of Braid™.

WARNING: Only use a LOW IMPEDANCE energizer that is UL or CSA approved. NEVER us an Energizer labeled "WEED BURNER" or "WEED CHOPPER"; they are unsafe and WILL damage ElectroBraid™.

WARNING: Never use regular house wire or ElectroBraid™ for your electrical connections. Only use high voltage, heavily insulated, copper lead-out wire, copper clad ground rods and brass ground rod clamps.

NOTE: To protect your mains energizer investment, we recommend a surge protector between the power source and your energizer.
