Combined Energizer - MX100 DUO 1.6J

The electric fence energizer converts the incoming supply 230V, a 12V battery, or power from a solar panel into a high-voltage pulse. The energizer sends this pulse through an insulated line made of rope, tape, wire, netting, or another type of conductor with specific characteristics. This happens once every second. The pulse itself has a duration of 150 microseconds.

This pulse is commonly referred to as a “shock pulse,” and it is what the animal feels when it touches the electric fence enclosure. The diagram also shows the movement of the pulse through the system. The pulse starts from the electric fence energizer, passes through the rope, and enters the animal that has touched the fence. The pulse passes through the animal and enters the ground. From there, it returns to the energizer through the grounding rod.

Think of the electric fence more as a psychological barrier rather than a physical one. The pain experienced by the animal is instant and does not physically harm it, unlike barbed wire fences or other types of enclosures.

Some advantages of electric fencing:

Low investment cost - the electric fence requires very few materials and labor compared to a standard fence. Not to mention a shepherd!

Long service life - it can be used for many years with proper operation.

Easy installation - relatively few and mostly lightweight components.

Universal - can be used for all types of animals, both domestic and wild.

Minimal maintenance - no maintenance required. It only needs to be checked from time to time to ensure it is functioning. If a remote monitoring device is installed, even this responsibility is eliminated.

Extends the life of an already deteriorating fence - if you install one or two rows in front of it, you can use it for a long time without worrying that animals will further damage it.
