There are a lot of people out there selling electric fence testers. One product stands out above all others. It is the speedrite ST100 electric fence Fault finder. This high quality self-contained unit runs about $120 and it’s available at www.speedratechargers.com

The speedrite ST100 does several things. First it’ll tell you the voltage on your fence produced by your electric fence energizer. Second and most importantly, it’ll tell you about faults in your electric fence. It’ll have a directional arrow to point you to where the fault is located. You can then fix your fence to ensure that it produces the maximum voltage to keep your livestock contained. 

The ST100 is self-contained and it does not require the use of a ground probe like other cheaper, electric fence fault finders do.

You have probably used an all-hot system (all fence wires are charged). Speedrite recommends all-hot systems only in areas with 35 inches or more of moisture per year. A hot/ground system might be a better choice. Make the top wire of your fence hot, then the next one down a ground wire, and so on. Tie the ground wires together with galvanized wire and clamps at the ends, then connect this to the ground rods, and the ground terminal of the energizer. This way, you carry the ground system out to the animal, and are not relying on dry soil to make the connection.

I'm building an electric fence but I'm confused by all the power choices.
Which energizer should I use?

It depends on your situation. Speedrite makes many models with a variety of carefully engineered capabilities. The questions you should answer first are:

· What animals do you want to control?
Containing domestic stock within a pasture takes less power than fencing wildlife out of an area.

· How much acreage do you want to protect?
Obviously, you need a bigger energizer to carry adequate power on larger jobs. If there is a large vegetation challenge for the fence, you need more power. It's a good idea to plan now for any additions you might need down the road, too.

· What power source is available?
Can you tap into a 110 or 220-volt source? If you can't, there is a wide range of battery- and solar-powered units available.

· Can you do the job with a portable system?
Portable systems are easy-to-setup and can be quickly moved, if necessary. A solar kit is usually best for this application.

This winter you may get snow that covers your solar powered fence charger panel. Most electric fence chargers which are powered by the sun or solar operate on a battery that holds a charge. This battery can last up to 2 weeks time. make sure you buy a good solar fencer and you shouldn't have to worry about snow covering the solar panel.
