Listen for a steady ticking sound and check the indicator lights on the unit. Most energisers have a green light for normal operation and a red or flashing light to indicate a fault.

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. Your installer or technician will confirm the details based on your setup.

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 Kempton Park 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. It's always worth getting a professional assessment for your specific needs.

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.
