The electric fence was primarily developed for the restriction of animal movement. Since that time the security industry used the initial technology and improved on it to give a system using wires fitted on insulators and powered by an energiser capable of delivering a substantial and most uncomfortable shock.
The energiser in simple terms is a transformer that can convert low power to a huge quantity of power to the person touching the wires. The energiser used for this purpose will not allow anyone to be killed as the unit is designed to allow the power to pulsate on/off on a continuous basis. Therefor unlike power in the house (where the possibility exists that you could die if experiencing a shock) the electric fence power switches on and off momentarily and therefor is termed a non-lethal electric fence.
Advantages of having an electric fence
There are three main advantages of an electric fence installation:
- The visual protective appearance, this also acts as a psychological barrier
- The shock capacity
- The alarm given
Visual
Should you install a good electric fence the visual appearance will be a definite deterrent. For example if the house or property next door is not fitted with an electric fence you are at a distinct advantage. The psychological aspect is that you feel safer once it has been installed.
Shock
When correctly wired and the right size energiser installed the shock experienced will be of such a magnitude that it would deter a person from trying to enter the premises.
Alarm
It places a 24-hour monitor on the perimeter. If wired correctly the electric fence will go to an alarm mode when the wire is cut or shorted. The electric fence will have served its purpose as an early warning device should the above occur. Unlike most house burglar alarms it will inform you at the property boundry.
