An electric fence has approximately the same power consumption as a low energy bulb. If the electric fence is switched on 24 hours per day all year round the energy cost will be well below GBP 10.

If your Nervus Electric Fence Controller fails, you are requested to return it to the shop where you have bought it. Please note that the sales receipt must be presented

To obtain the maximum benefit from your nervus Electric Fence for as many years as possible, it is important that you give the product the best possible operating conditions.

The functionality of an electric fence - production of electric shocks when the fencing wire is touched - can be explained as follows. The fence wire is connected to one lead in the controlling device, the earth connection to the other. The quality of the wire is insignificant. As the voltage is relatively high it must, however, be selected with consideration to the animals to be fenced.

The electric shock experienced by the animal is the difference in voltage between the fencing wire and the earth. The connection in this instance is the animal that touches the earth. A bird sitting on the fencing wire with no connection to earth will thus not feel the shock.
