[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 8568280, member: 12099"] If you are not sure now exactly what you want to do and rather than hold up the water pipe job, then how about just lay a piece of pipe or something as ducting in the trench ,could even put in some warning tape inwith it i guess and leave /fit a string line through it then you can add (pull through) whatever sort of wire(s) at a later date. another way of doing it if its just for the fence energiser is to use a 12v power all the way from a 240v power adaptor at the mains /buildings 13amp plug end, whatever , 400 m of low voltage low voltage in ( decent sized wire with respect to resistance yes,) instead of high. it wont need to be armoured just put it in a bit of plastic water pipe or something to duct it .it will be safe even if mistakenly dug up or something what ever. Ive done the same and used long length of dc wire left over from a solar site instal. but it wont be high amps either some 2 core ordinary wire might be ok ,just do the maths on resistance ove r that length by what ever power the energiser will need . it means you wont need to buy a mains fencer either just carryon useing the one you have . setting a mains energiser back at the mains point then running out a lead out wire all that way will be expensive because it needs double /really good insultaion and be fair sized because of the high volts involved and of course adds 400m to the fence line and possible short risks / resistance loss es if that lead out wire isnt top notch. having said that a good panel set up for a lot of fences will still be the way to go imo and ime , can get really good high joule 12v energisers these days [/QUOTE]
