Thank you people for your input. I will pass on all your thoughts. My take on it all is that the poly-wire is being run beyond its capability and that the Chinese solar exciters are also not powerful enough for the job. That’s what I’ll pass on.

I disconnected 1 wire at a time and shut down that energiser and found no differences in the voltages from when they’re both running at the same time.
The voltage still drops dramatically when I connect the energiser to the poly-wire.
Hi. The earth is to a dedicated gal star post and also to the main fence plain wire. Seems ok. I think to take up the slack they have wound the Poly-wire tightly around some insulators. If it were resistance alone I can’t see why the kV would drop just after the connection to the energiser.
Hi. I've been using an electric fence for many decades with out any significant problems. Using 240 volt PEL with 2.5mm high tensile wire for about 1.5 Kilometers.
Recently my new neighbour installed an electric fence on our boundary using good quality standoffs and connectors. However he has...
