RCB56 Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 You haven't said you have an energiser to run the fence, I assume you have one. I use a 70ah car battery. You can buy a 240v mains energiser for £50 off the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
243deer Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 If it is a short run and everything is really well insulated and your have really good earthing (a sort of electric fence utopia rarely achieved in real life) then it might be sufficient if your energiser is also efficient - personally to overcome the less than perfect conditions that usually occur I would do as above and stick a car battery on the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
