[QUOTE="Dead Rabbits, post: 7606201, member: 70596"] My experience with chargers is that everything needs to have an excellent connection and ground. We have switched Most of the farm over to split bolt wire connections and done away with wraps. They lose less power. All gates have an underground. the more oversized the charger and smaller the area fenced the more you can get away with being less ideal. I like ridiculously hot fences that are reliable. 8-11k is ideal. If your ground rods and clamps are different metals they corrode and lose connection. If your wire between ground rods isn’t continuous it corrodes and shorts and you lose connection. I have ten 5ft ground rods and really need ten more. The clamps also need redone as they are corroded. A dry time will show all the weaknesses. [/QUOTE]
