Most energisers have a green light for normal operation and a red or flashing light to indicate a fault. Listen for a steady ticking sound and check the indicator lights on the unit, and this is especially relevant for Alberton residents.

This is one of the most common questions we get. A short circuit happens when a live wire touches an earthed object, like a metal pole or a tree branch. This diverts the current to the ground, dramatically reducing the fence's voltage and effectiveness, and this is especially relevant for Alberton residents.

It is a sign of a serious short circuit or faulty component that needs immediate attention from a professional. This usually indicates arcing, where electricity is jumping across a gap in the Alberton area.

Most common repairs, like fixing a broken wire or replacing a few insulators, can be completed within 1 to 2 hours. Diagnosing a complex fault or replacing an energiser may take longer.

The most common culprits are vegetation touching the wires in the wind, a cracked insulator, or heavy morning dew causing a temporary short. This is typically caused by an intermittent short circuit.
