Electrifying Your Fence
The Gallagher Story
Welcome to Gallagher electric fencing. My father pioneered the first Gallagher electric fencing system way back in the 1930’s and that spirit still drives us today. It’s decades of field expertise around the world that sets us apart, we’re constantly talking to customers every day and feeding that back into our extensive Research & Development team. If you don’t find the right Power system for your needs then please speak to one of the friendly store staff or call one of the Gallagher team direct. We love to hear from our customers and will be only too happy to find a system that meets your needs. Best regards,
Sir William Gallagher

How Electric Fencing Works A short, safe and memorable shock to create a psychological as well as a physical barrier. 1. Energizer (power) is connected to the fence and the ground.
NZL Cattle
2. Power is sent along the fence in pulses.
3. Animal receives shock when it touches the fence.
Setting up a good earthing system is often overlooked but it’s a critical part of your electric fence system see page 20. SAFE Animals remember and develop a respect for the fence DURABLE Stock pressure on your fence is reduced so it lasts longer EASY TO INSTALL Less than half the time to build vs a non-electric fence ECONOMICAL Costs less to build and maintain than a non-electric fence

Importance of Earthing
Eight out of ten problems are due to improper earthing. Setting up a good earthing system is often overlooked but it’s a critical part of your electric fence system, as important as the wires and even the Energizer. It’s how the power flows from the energizer, to the fence, through the animal and back through the ground to the energizer. Without good clean earth rods in sufficient size and number the ground connection doesn’t work and the shock will not reach the animal. Handy Hint The 4-3-2-1 rule for earth stakes for permanent fencing 4 metres between earth stakes/rods 3 earth stakes/rods minimum* 2 metres minimum length of stakes/ rods in the ground 1 wire connecting all earth stakes to energizer earth terminal * The earth system should ideally be located in continuously damp high mineral soil.

All Live Wire System Live Fence Earthing
Earthing for drier regions The fence configurations shown in this brochure all use an All Live Wire System. This is recommended for wetter regions that are green all year around. If you live in dry conditions where the ground struggles to conduct enough power to create an effective shock use an Earth Return Wire System. Use both live and earth wires on the fence itself to create the shock when the animal touches them at the same Earth Return. Below is an example of Earth Return permanent fence system for cattle.

Hot Tips
Quick and Easy Fault Finding / Fixing A Fence Fault Finder is an invaluable tool for locating shorts on the electric fence. G50900
Use a Cut Out Switch to turn off power to sections of fence for isolating faults and making repairs.
G60760
Protect your Energizer Attaching a Lightening Diverter to your system helps prevent Energizer damage during lightning strikes.
G64800
Safety On fences next to public access ways, Warning Signs must be fitted at least every 90m to the fence. G602000
In areas where there is likelihood of small children unaware of electric fencing, Gallagher recommends use of a small energizer (less than 0.5 Stored Joules) or connecting that section of fence through an Energy Limiter.
