Electric Fence Making Noise After Rain

Make note of which fence sections generate and do not generate noise.

Electric fence making noise after rain.

It doesn t do it constantly and is definitely coming from the energiser. Its about three years old and has had nothing changed. It is also a safety issue. Water has a reaction with electric fences that causes arcing.

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. Please be aware of the problems that can be caused by electric fences and think of your neighbours. This type of problem generally makes a severe raspy strong noise over all bands. If it is arcing from something being ungrounded noise will generally go away in the rain.

It s a battery run one and is well earthed. Fence wire appears to radiate noise you may need to replace the fence charger. Why does rain cause electric fence faults. This type of interference produces a characteristic.

Almost all radio noise generated by electric fences is caused by a spark or arcing of the electrical current across fence hardware. This type of noise is generally unaffected by moisture although it can get get either louder or quieter in rain. They may be affected even when you have no problems yourself. 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.

The fencing is still working but i have had the neighbour next to the paddock commenting about it. The arcing from the electric fence to a particular object near or on the fence causes that well known tick tick sound. 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. My gallagher electric fence energiser is making loud clicks now and again.

Remove power to the charger and reconnect the fence wire. If there are multiple sections connect one section at a time and turn on the charger.
