[QUOTE="sheepdogtrail, post: 7670959, member: 151839"] Can you post a picture of your energizer, hook up wires (going to ground and the fence). You should have 9 feet of ground rod with a 6000i. I have 5 of those units so I know them well. Your remote/falt finder should point you in the direction of the fault. You are using insulated lead out and hookup wire rated above 600v are you not? Green is ground. Red is fence. Black is earth/rod voltage. Yellow reduces output to 5 Joules/3000 volts. Like others have said, the ground field is often the problem. You should have 10 feet between ground rod(s) if you do a series. Ground fields need to be wet at all times for best results. More than 500v on the last of the ground rods will tell you your ground field needs to be improved. You can drive your rods in at a shallow angle if you want to move them at some point in the future. What type of fence is it hooked up to? They do fail. But in 17 years of using that brand and model, I have had only 1 fail. I have had to replace the lugs on a 12000i that I also use. Parts are cheap, available and at least pre-covid where only a day away. All that said, I always have a few backup's in a 300 series in the event I need to replace a energizer. It is cheap insurance.
