Hi

What you could also try is measure your volts at the point on the fence where your ht out from the energiser connects.

follow that line all the way to the end and see if the voltage drops, if not go to the next live wire and do the same.

Something to check too, as the photo of a previous post above of the bobbin, with age the tab that keeps the wire on the bobbin can break and the wire may then

rest on the pole/round bar or what is applicable, and this can be difficult to spot unless you pay close attention when inspecting the fence.

Also if I am not mistaken, it looks like your ht cable is stranded. I have found that to be useless in the long term as the wire degrades. I have replaced it with solid core ht

when that occurs.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Sean

 

Just reread your 1st post re #4

Try disconnecting your ht lead out and return at the fence and then connect them together and the see if your unit then shows good status.

If not then it may be your unit at fault.

I completely skipped a page somehow.

Ok, so after much troubleshooting the issue is now resolved. The culprit was bobbins on a fence post that takes the fence around a 90 degree bend. AFter spraying the fence down with the garden hose, I was able to hear a soft clicking coming from this specific post. After a thorough check I found 3 bobbins to be faulty. I replaced all three and now the fence is working as it should.

Thank you everyone for your guidance, much appreciated.

Well done. Good troubleshooting. Probably saved yourself a nice little amount too.

FYI and someone else reference

If you use this tester

There is a function that it will test and show you in which direction there is current draw to ground

Using that you can walk the fence and then find the location where current is being drawn to ground

 

 

The arrow will point to the direction of current draw. Walk the fence and wait till teh direction changes

Far easier and more exact way to faultfind
