My climate and soil make it difficult for me to install a good earthing system. What alternatives do I have?
In sandy or rocky soils, in extremely arid climates, or where the ground is frozen for much of the year, the standard earth system may not prove adequate. In these situations it may be necessary to wire the fence with alternative wires being live / earth. Such a fence will then no longer be dependant on moist soil conditions. When an animal touches the live and earth wires simultaneously, the current will travel back to the energiser’s earth system, completing the circuit and delivering a shock. For more information, see the Earth Specifications section of our web site.
