An electric fence energizer takes electric energy from a power source and delivers it to a fence as pulses. These pulses are commonly referred to as the "shock" felt by any animal which touches an electrified fence. An electric fence acts as a psychological barrier rather than a physical barrier.

Benefits of Electric Fencing

• Low cost / Cost Effective - requiring less labour and material than conventional fencing.
• Easy to construct using light weight materials.
• Animals less likely to be injured if they breach an electric fence. Electric fences protect valuable livestocks
• Long life - Less prone to damge because animals can't lean on it.
• Economically controls all domestic and feral animals; if animals force their way through electric fences they are usually not hurt.
• Flexibility - wire spacings and fence design can be modified to control a variety of animals.
• Increases production by making it asier to subdivide paddocks.
• Portability - strip grazing and back fencing is easy and fast to build and move.
• Fence life can be extended by attaching electrified offsets (outriggers) to existing conventional fences.
• Discourage trespassers and predators.
• Environmentally friendly - quick, easy and inexpensive to fence off trees and waterways.
