Cyclops Electric Fence Chargers and Energizers Information Hub

Jumpers are an easy to implement, inexpensive way to drastically lower the resistance on your fence - this will allow your charger to hit harder. Remember, resistance zaps the power from your electric fence charger. Jumpers are used at the corner post of your fence to 'jump' the power from wire to wire. This effect is most pronounced on longer fences, or if poor quality wire is used. Matter of fact, if you have an existing fence with poor quality wire, using jumpers can cheaply and quickly increase the shock to the animal. Also, the more strands the better if...

A joule is derived unit of energy, heat or work. For your charger, think of it as the output. More joules = more shock. You have probably seen the terms Output Joules and Stored Joules. Don't get these confused, and be aware of which is advertised on the charger. They are not the same thing! A charger may advertise 30 Joules, but only refer to the stored joules (A fence charger will always store more joules than it outputs). Stored Joules represent the amount of power stored inside your charger. This is ran through an output transformer, which converts the...

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 one can use to wire...

Power Power is a very important thing to consider when selecting a fence charger. When we say 'power', we mean the number of joules the fence charger puts out. You want a charger that will power your whole fence, and still sting at the end. And the answer isn't to simply buy the strongest charger either. If a 5 joule charger will power your fence, there is no benefit to be gained by getting a 32 joule charger. Your fence will determine your power needs. Generally, output power declines the further you get from your charger, the more vegetation, and...
