Disconnect the fence and earth leads and measure the energizer output with a fence tester. If it is low (manufacturer guidance suggests below about 5,000 volts on many units) the energizer or its battery is at fault; if it is normal, the fault is on the fence. Then isolate sections with cut-out switches and look for vegetation, broken wires, damaged insulators and poor earthing.
Key takeaways
- Test the energizer alone first.
- Then isolate fence sections.
- Common faults: vegetation, broken wire, insulators, earth.
- Battery units: charge the battery.
