Inadequate earthing is the most common cause of poor fence efficiency
Inadequate earthing is the most common cause of poor fence efficiency (and interference with radio equipment). Common causes of inadequate earthing include dry soil, insufficient burying depth of earthing rods, insufficient number of earthing rods, or wrong earthing rod material (e.g., rebars that lose conductivity when rusted).
By compliant and functional installation of the earthing in accordance with the instructions, you can often eliminate many problems related to poor fence efficiency.
Adequate earthing of the fence energiser requires a sufficient number of earthing rods. Depending on the length of the fence and the power of the energiser, 1–6 earthing rods are usually needed. In dry conditions and in case of long fences, even more earthing rods may be required. There cannot be too many earthing rods; better have some extra than too few.
Note! If you equip your fence with a separate lightning protector, keep in mind that it requires its own earthing rods (at least 3 pcs.).
