Collating Energizers
We don’t like mentioning the local farm stores improperly, (and if you've got a good one, by all suggests that patronize them) however most of the farm have salesman you consult with will possibly not understand the difference between a fence joule and a hog jowl. Before you buy, you should get some idea about a joule. A joule is a hard thing to realize, but essentially it's an electronic measurement of one watt per second.
That possibly means nothing - we do not understand that either. But, you require joules to push the pulse down the fence wire. The more joules you have, the more power you have. The length or shape of pulse time also has a bearing and a high power-driven, short and low impedance pulse can travel through more resistance.
What we are trying to say here is some energizer packaging will mention the amount of acreage or wire their unit can power. Don’t think I am right? Others can only state the output joules or only the stored joules. Make sure you're collating apples with apples and not one's hold on joules against another's output. At the very least, drop their claim by 50%. We believe that the best way to size an energizer is to figure out the output joules and figure that one joule can power between three to five miles of wire. If they cannot provide you with the output joule rating, then do not purchase it.
Choosing an Energizer
New Zealanders have said that we Americans sometimes overbuild the fence, then reduce its power! That is possibly true. The worst thing you can do if you're simply starting with horse fencing is to make a lovely fence without sufficient power in it.
