Underground or Under Gate Wiring
If you plan to run charged wire underground from your fence charger to the fence line you must install it properly using the correct material or your fence will be "grounded out".
- DO NOT use standard household or contractor
grade insulated wiring for underground wiring as it is only
insulated up to 240 volts maximum which is well below the effective
operational voltage of your fence charger. Your fence charger
operates well into the kilovolt (over 1,000 volts) range.
Using this type of wire will result in your fence shorting to ground
and render it ineffective.
- DO use
Baygard item #693 insulated underground wire specifically designed for high voltage electric fence. Underground wire
MUST BE insulated for a minimum of 15,000 volts.
Baygard item #693 is
insulated to 20,000 volts is an excellent choice.
- DO NOT burry underground wiring by itself.
- DO run underground wire through PVC (plastic) conduit. Bring both ends of conduit a minimum of 6" above ground level. Caulk both ends of conduit so that water cannot enter conduit.
