[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7669046, member: 63856"] Could be a dead short at the far end of the fence. Do you know anyone with a fault finder/ compass type of fence tester? If you test the earth wire, should be no more than about 4-500V (½ kV) on that [B] if [/B]the fence is OK, but a crook earth or dead short will make that read much higher, eg 2kV on our mains unit's earth indicates a good (metal-metal) type of short out there. Dad reckoned you need a metre of earthing rod per joule for a good earth, which is about what we've got here (25) [/QUOTE]
