Doug Kanter said: neighbors who've been here for 20+ years say they've never seen deer during the hours when kids would be out playing and might approach the garden. So, I thought I'd probably put the electric fence on a timer. I understand that the fence is unlikely to harm a person I wouldn’t wory about those kids unless one of them has a pacemaker. My small unit runs at 1000 Volts and the big one at 5000, but the current is miniscule. Touching the fence is about equivalent to the shock you get when you scuff your feet on a rug. That static electricity jolt, by-the-way is about 50,000 volts, but the only way you can get hurt is if you happen to be picking up a gas can. Dave http://members.tripod.com/~VideoDave Have you touched the fence, or assume it's like a static shock? My fencer zaps like touching the sparkplug on a mower or chain saw. Maybe worse. I don't run it very much of the time. Best regards, Bob |

My fencer zaps like touching the sparkplug on a mower or chain saw. From time to time I touch it by accident. You are right, it is a bit more than a static shock, because that lasts for a tiny fraction of a second, while the fence is a sustained current. It still is not enough to do any harm, but I'm not sure if it could effect a pacemaker. I don't think any of the kids or deer for that matter have one. :-) Dave http://members.tripod.com/~VideoDave |
