3E4097 Gallagher S400 Solar Energizer User Manual
• An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate energizers or from independent fence circuits
of the same energizer.
• For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied from a separate energizer independently med, the
distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences shall be at least 2.5m. If this gap is to be closed,
this shall be eected by means of electrically non-conducve material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electried by an energizer.
• A non-electried fence incorporang barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support one or more o-set
electried wires of an electric animal fence. The supporng devices for the electried wires shall be constructed
so as to ensure that these wires are posioned at a minimum distance of 150 mm from the vercal plane of the
non-electried wires. The barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer’s recommendaons regarding earthing.
• Do not install an earth (ground) system for your electric fence within 10 m (33 ) of any power,
telecommunicaons or other system.
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to eecvely insulate from the earthed structural parts of the
building and where soil could corrode exposed galvanized wire. Do not use household electrical cable.
• Connecng leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulang material or else insulated high
voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the connecng leads due to the
eects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connecng leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring, communicaon cables
or data cables.
• Connecng leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or communicaon lines.
• Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing cannot be avoided it
shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at right angles to it.
• If connecng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the clearances
shall not be less than those shown in the table below.
Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Power line Voltage V Clearance m
Less than or equal to 1 000 3
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000 4
Greater than 33 000 8
• If connecng leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their height
above the ground shall not exceed 3 m.
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projecon of the outermost conductors of the power line on
the ground surface, for a distance of:
-2 m for power lines operang at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
-15 m for power lines operang at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.
• Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or training animals such as cows
need only be supplied from low output energizers to obtain sasfactory and safe performance.
• In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roosng on buildings, no electric fence wire shall be
connected to an earth stake. A warning sign shall be ed to every point where persons may gain ready access
to the conductors.
