Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Power line Voltage V
Less than or equal to 1 000
Greater than 1 000 and less than or equal to 33 000
Greater than 33 000
• If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, their
height above the ground shall not exceed 3 m
This height applies either side of the orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors of the
power line on the ground surface, for a distance of:
2 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V;
-
15 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.

• Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or training animals
such as cows need only be supplied from low output energizers to obtain satisfactory and safe
performance.
• In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roosting on buildings, no electric fence
wire shall be connected to an earth stake. A warning sign shall be fitted to every point where
persons may gain ready access to the conductors.
• Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified gate shall be
incorporated in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of stiles shall be
provided. At any such crossing, the adjacent electrified wires shall carry warning signs.
• Any part of an electric animal fence that is installed along a public road or pathway shall be
identified by electric fence warning signs (G6020) at regular intervals that are securely fastened to
the fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence wires.
• The size of the warning sign shall be at least 100mm x 200mm.
• The background colour of both sides of the warning sign shall be yellow.
The inscription on the sign shall be black and shall be either:
-the substance of "CAUTION: Electric Fence" or,
-the symbol shown:
• The inscription shall be indelible, inscribed on both sides of the warning sign
and have a height of at least 25mm.
• Ensure that all mains operated, ancillary equipment connected to the electric animal fence circuit
provides a degree of isolation between the fence circuit and the supply mains equivalent to that
provided by the energizer.
• Protection from the weather shall be provided for the ancillary equipment unless this equipment is
certified by the manufacturer as being suitable for use outdoors, and is of a type with a minimum
degree of protection IPX4.
This energizer complies with international safety regulations and is manufactured to international
standards. Gallagher reserves the right to make changes without notice to any product specification to
improve reliability, function or design. E & OE.
