Gallagher 3E3565 Baery Fence Energizer B60
the vercal plane of the non-electrified 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.
• Except for low output baery operated energizers, the energizer earth
electrode should penetrate the ground to a depth of at least 1 m (3 ).
• Use high voltage lead-out cable in buildings to effecvely insulate from the
earthed structural parts of the building and where soil could corrode exposed
galvanised 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 effects 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 the energizer earth
