How to Maximize the Efficiency of the Electric Fence?

 the features and advantages of different electric fence wires
Electric fence systems are used to control a wide variety of animals. A typical electric fence is a psychological barrier that keeps farm animals in and wild animals out, even over long distances. The animal will touch the electric fence and become "trained" not to go near the fence. In order to maximize the efficiency of the electronic fence, we can use the following methods to achieve.

1. Select the right electric fence energizer

Choosing the appropriate electric fence energizer for your individual property and electric fence needs is the first step to a successful electric fence system. Talk to your objectives to ensure you're getting the proper amount of joules to maximize your cost and energy efficiency.

2. Make your electric fence wire more flexible

HPS Fence recommends giving your electronic fence wire a little flexibility because it is not a barbed wire and does not need to be very tight to be effective. Adding some beads to the wires allows you to deal with unpredictable weather changes at any time. If needed, you can return and tighten the rope at any time during the dry summer months.

3. Use good electric fence insulators

While constructing a new fence system, some consumers staple the high tensile wire directly to the fence-which works great if the post is dry and will remain dry.

Unfortunately, most climates offer varying degrees of moisture-whether rain or snow, or oftentimes both. Select and use a good, quality insulator and you won't be shorting out during weather storms or compromising your overall fence system.
 
4. Monitor the spacing of the posts

HPS Fence’s rule of thumb is to plan for approximately 50-60 feet apart with a stay in between each post.

Anything less is going to be too close, won't give and wildlife is going to run right through the line. Not only is this a more efficient fence strategy, but it's also a more cost-effective strategy as you're using and purchasing fewer posts.

5. Develop a proper grounding system

Most people don't put too much thought into their grounding system. But they should. Approximately 80% of all power fence problems stem from inadequate grounding. The ground posts help maximize the overall electrical efficiency of your entire fence system. We recommend at least three grounding posts made of galvanized steel.
