Gallagher M350 Notice D'installation page 8

• Do not climb over, through or under a multi-wire electric fence.
Use a gate or a specially designed crossing point.
• An electric animal fence shall not be supplied from two separate energizers or from
independent fence circuits of the same energizer.
• For any two separate electric animal fences, each supplied from a separate energizer
independently timed, the distance between the wires of the two electric animal fences
shall be at least 2.5m. If this gap is to be closed, this shall be effected by means of
electrically non-conductive material or an isolated metal barrier.
• Barbed wire or razor wire shall not be electrified by an energizer.
• A non-electrified fence incorporating barbed wire or razor wire may be used to support
one or more off-set electrified wires of an electric animal fence. The supporting devices for
the electrified wires shall be constructed so as to ensure that these wires are positioned
at a minimum distance of 150 mm from the vertical plane of the non-electrified wires. The
barbed wire and razor wire shall be earthed at regular intervals.
• Follow the energizer manufacturer's recommendations regarding earthing.
• A distance of at least 10 m shall be maintained between the energizer earth electrode and
any other earthing system connected parts such as the power supply system protective
earth or the telecommunication system earth.
• Connecting leads that are run inside buildings shall be effectively insulated from the earthed
structural parts of the building. This may be achieved by using insulated high voltage cable.
• Connecting leads that are run underground shall be run in conduit of insulating material or else
insulated high voltage lead-out cable shall be used. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the
connecting leads due to the effects of animal hooves or tractor wheels sinking into the ground.
• Connecting leads shall not be installed in the same conduit as the mains supply wiring,
communication cables or data cables.
• Connecting leads and electric animal fence wires shall not cross above overhead power or
communication lines.
• Crossings with overhead power lines shall be avoided wherever possible. If such a crossing
cannot be avoided it shall be made underneath the power line and as nearly as possible at
right angles to it.
• If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line,
the clearances shall not be less than those shown in the table below.
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
