Combined Energizer - MX1200 DUO 20.0J

The electric fence operates with electricity. The black grounding cable connects the grounding rods and the energizer. The red cable connects the fence and the energizer. Finally, the battery cables connect the energizer to the battery, which provides the power supply. The current passes through the energizer, through the fence, and through the grounding rods (the earth is used to close the circuit).

The energizer converts incoming power from a 12V battery or a solar panel into a high-voltage pulse. It sends this pulse through an insulated line made of rope, tape, wire, mesh, or other conductive materials with specific characteristics. This happens once every second, or can be adjusted depending on the model. The pulse itself lasts 150 microseconds.

This pulse is commonly called a “shock pulse,” and it is what the animal feels when it touches the fence. The diagram shows how the pulse moves through the system: from the energizer, through the fence wire, into the animal, then into the ground, and finally back to the energizer through the grounding rod.

The electric fence should be seen more as a psychological barrier than a physical one. The shock is instant and does not physically harm the animal, unlike barbed wire or other types of fencing.

Some advantages of electric fencing:

Low investment cost - requires very few materials and little labor compared to a standard fence.

Long service life - can last for many years with proper use.

Easy installation - consists of relatively few and lightweight components.

Universal use - suitable for all types of animals, both domestic and wild.

Extends the life of existing fencing - installing one or two electrified lines in front of a weak fence can significantly improve its effectiveness.

Minimal maintenance - no constant servicing required, only occasional checks to ensure proper operation. If remote monitoring is installed, even this is reduced.
