When wiring an electric fence, either a series or parallel wiring configuration can be used. This video illustrates the difference between these two configurations and explains the different fencing applications where each is used.
As a novice homesteader, I've spent a couple years trying to figure out how to do an ag fence properly. I have some electrical knowledge, but I didn't know if it applied to electric fencing the same. This video is quite literally the exact thing I've been looking for for several years now. Thank you so much!
No the series circuit can either end at the end of the line or depending on the energizer come back in to a monitor either external or the monitor input on the security energizers. but it must not link onto the same terminal otherwise this will effectively make it a parallel wire as current can flow in both directions. If you have a look at the difference between the agricultural and security energizer video on our you tube page this might help you understand.
Hoe would you get power to the fence without an energizer? Please do no connect it directly to a wall plug that will be a killer fence. The energizer regulates the power it makes it safe and also only in intervals so you cannot get trapped on a fence and die.
Not all energizers have a return, only our Security range return but are then connected to the monitor input to monitor the voltage return on the fence.
