EARTHING YOUR CHETA FENCE
Many farmers are needlessly reducing the effectiveness of their electric fences by failing to EARTH them adequately.
Almost seventy-five percent of poor results are directly due to FAULTY EARTHING SYSTEMS.
Common causes of poor results are:
- Insufficient earth rods.
- Badly jointed wires.
- Poor connections to earth rods.
- Earth rods too close together.
- Earth rods not long enough.
Proper Earth System:
Use Three or Four two-metre lengths of galvanised earth rods driven to full depth in a damp place, spaced at least three meters apart and bonded together securely. To prevent corrosion use steel wire ….. copper and steel leads to corrosion.
