Introduction

Welcome to our blog dedicated to electric fences, where we will provide essential information about voltage in the electric fence. If you are considering purchasing an electric fence to protect your animals or properties, it is essential to understand the importance of proper voltage to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the system.

We at GEMI ELECTRONICS are aware of the importance of providing in-depth information to our customers, allowing them to make informed decisions and choose the electric fence that best suits their specific needs.

Throughout this blog article, we will explore what voltage is in the context of electric fences and how to properly set the voltage of the electric fence. We will discuss the factors to consider when choosing the right voltage, the recommended voltage values for different animals and applications, as well as best practices for setting the voltage in the electric fence.

Our priority is your safety and the protection of your animals and properties. We are here to guide you along the way, offering in-depth information and expert advice. After acquiring the necessary knowledge, we will be happy to introduce you to our high-quality electric fences, designed to meet your specific needs.

So, let's dive into the world of voltage in the electric fence and discover together how to ensure effective protection.

What is electrical voltage?

Electrical voltage in the electric fence is measured in volts (V) and is a crucial factor for the safety and effectiveness of the system.

Voltage in the electric fence plays a fundamental role in creating an electric barrier that deters animals from touching or crossing the fence. When an animal comes into contact with the electrified wire or barrier, the voltage creates an electric impulse that flows through its body, causing a sensation of discomfort or unpleasantness. This negative experience causes animals to avoid approaching or attempting to cross the fence.

The importance of voltage in the electric fence stems from its ability to provide adequate deterrence to animals. Insufficient voltage may not be enough to deter animals, allowing them to ignore the fence and cross it. On the other hand, excessively high voltage can pose a safety risk to the animals.

We at GEMI ELECTRONICS offer 5 different types of electrifiers, each equipped with specific features:

Insulator:

Insulators are essential components that prevent the dispersion of voltage along the fence. Ensure that the insulators are installed correctly and are in good condition, then check if the insulators are suitable for the type of wire or cable used in your electric fence, if not, replace damaged or worn insulators to ensure proper voltage conduction.

We at GEMI ELECTRONICS offer different types of insulators:

Fence wire:

Ensure that the fence wire is in good condition and without breaks or interruptions that could cause voltage leakage. Use wire suitable for your electric fence specifications, taking into account the type of livestock or animals you intend to contain or protect.

Check that the wire is securely connected to the insulators and that there are no loosening or faulty connections.

We at GEMI ELECTRONICS offer a wide range of wires or electric tapes.

Periodic Maintenance

Perform regular maintenance checks to verify the integrity of the electric fence and the correct distribution of voltage.

Check for vegetation or debris that could interfere with the proper functioning of the electric fence. Remove any obstacles that could cause voltage leakage.

Inspect the charger and insulators for any signs of deterioration or malfunction. In case of issues, replace the faulty parts.

Voltage check:

Use a voltage tester specially designed for electric fences to periodically measure the voltage present in your fence. Ensure that the voltage is within the recommended range for your type of electric fence and animals.

Perform regular checks to ensure a constant and adequate voltage along the entire fence.

By following these guidelines and paying attention to periodic maintenance, you will be able to properly set the voltage of your electric fence and ensure effective and safe operation.
