Basil B Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 220v? must have wired it direct to the mains... A proper fence energizer is about 5,000v, but current is limited, and an initial shock of less than 1 joules of stored energy, and should cost less than 5,000B, it is now going to cost the farmer a lot more.

HarrySeaman Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 220V electric fences to kill the rats are common around rice paddies, It's a different world here, and you best not forget it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the farmer happens to be a big landowner with influence in that case he'll probably ask for damages. Live is sometimes very cheap in the LOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
