Electric Fence Energiser Repairs

foxbox · Dec 31, 2015

This may be in the wrong section but does anyone know anything about repairing electric fence energisers?

We have a mains unit that is quite a few years old, it's still putting out a charge but instead of a pulse every 2 seconds or so it seems intent on at least halving this. I assume this means it is putting out a lower voltage as a result (last time I tested the fence it had plenty of undergrowth on it and I didn't test from near the lead out cable) and would like to repair it or get it fixed.

There is an ad in the FG for someone that repairs them, anyone used them or experience of repairing units themselves? There can't be much that can be at fault in there can there?

He fixed one of ours last year.As far as I remember it was a reasonable price. Have seen him in Bakewell market but don't know if he goes every week.

It's a Rutland unit, well over 15 years old and at the time was probably the highest power unit they sold. Can't remember the model number at the moment though.

David King could fix it, but be aware that it may be cheaper to buy a new one ?

Thanks, was aware of him but hadn't thought about them to fix it. Is that a general observation around the cost of fixing fencing units or your recommendation in particular?

We've had several units fixed there, costing £50 - £100
but you can buy new units like this for little more and this is a good one

I run one of those and they are very good for the money

Arran Lange fixed a battery powered energiser, quick service, though you get plenty of AL stickers on your energiser. We had a 8 yo Rutland mains energiser repaired by Rutland at around £100 it wasn't cheap but all the local repairers around here wouldn't touch a mains jobbie.

Usually the module ,a lot of manufacturer's supply service exchange modules.Gallagher ones usually clip in.

Mrs G was a Rutland rep, she says take it to Westfield farm machinery if they are near to you, they will repair them on site, or other Rutland dealers can return them for repair.

Before you do anything, take the cover off, give it a good spray with WD and then test again. It can be just a connection so check for loose wires. I have had chargers come back from the dead thanks to the odd tweek and a good spray. Worth 10 minutes of your time.

Good plan, I'll give that a go. Should I un-plug it first?!
