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.
