Cyclops Electric Fence Chargers and Energizers Information Hub

Better lightning protection from cyclops electric fence chargers. Today we received in a lightning damaged solar fencer that we built for a customer last fall. This was on a 4 wire high tensile fence. The top (hot) and bottom (ground) wires were melted in two, and the third wire showed heat damage that took off the galvanized coating on the wire. As you can see the damage externally to the fencer looks pretty bad. Upon opening it I figured we would have to replace at minimum, the MOV/lightning protection board and possibly the motherboard as well. After all was done,...

  Electric fence charger terms. An ohm is unit of electrical resistance between two conductors. Resistance directly affects the output of the charger. Generally, the relationship is negative. Higher resistance(ohms) means less power output by the charger. The higher the resistance of your fence, the weaker the shock to the animal. This can be plotted on a chart, but we've taken it a step further, and directly plot the output to the animal (the animal has an ohm rating as well).  What effects the resistance of my fence? Your Electric Fence Wire - There are many different types of wire...

  Output Transformer - The transformer boosts the stored voltage of the fence charger from about 600VDC to an 8000V pulse. 10,000V would jump insulators and less than 4000V would not shock the animals enough to train them. Find out more about cyclops fence chargers at www.cyclopsfence.com
