Electric Fence Making Noise After Rain

My gallagher electric fence energiser is making loud clicks now and again.

Electric fence making noise after rain.

Make note of which fence sections generate and do not generate noise. Remove power to the charger and reconnect the fence wire. This type of noise is generally unaffected by moisture although it can get get either louder or quieter in rain. Its about three years old and has had nothing changed.

If it is arcing from something being ungrounded noise will generally go away in the rain. The arcing from the electric fence to a particular object near or on the fence causes that well known tick tick sound. Please be aware of the problems that can be caused by electric fences and think of your neighbours. Why does rain cause electric fence faults.

Almost all radio noise generated by electric fences is caused by a spark or arcing of the electrical current across fence hardware. A solid fence reduces more noise than a fence with openings or gaps because like air some sound still sneaks through it the thicker the fence the more sound it keeps out. Fortunately this is not a typical case. Fence wire appears to radiate noise you may need to replace the fence charger.

If there are multiple sections connect one section at a time and turn on the charger. They may be affected even when you have no problems yourself. Also could be a small weed touching it. It is also a safety issue.

Water has a reaction with electric fences that causes arcing. It doesn t do it constantly and is definitely coming from the energiser. Telecom will do its best to locate the source of problems caused by electric fences but we need your co operation in making any improvements. Take a tamp spong shut of the fence clean the wire all the way around the fence you could have horse hair or spiderwebs in the fence line.

Just don t whiz on the electric fence if you re gonna explode you can use the commode of igloos cave dwellings or tents no need to explain when you gotta drain just don t whiz on the electric. It s a battery run one and is well earthed.
