How does Electric Fence grounding work?
Posted by Patriot Chargers on
For an electric fence to give an animal an electric shock, electrical current (produced by the energizer) must complete a circuit. The current from the energizer flows along the wires, through the animal’s body, down through the soil to the ground system, then back up to the energizer. If the ground system isn't working properly, the animal won't get an effective shock.
