Product information "Earth rod (1 metre, not including earth clamp)"

Earthing a fence energiser is essential in order for it to deliver an effective shock.

Good earthing consists of earth rods and clamps. The length and number of the earth rods required depends on the fence energiser you are using:

  • portable energisers: minimum length 0.5 metre
  • 12V energisers: minimum length 1 metre
  • Mains energisers: minimum length 1,7 metres

Gallagher earth rods are galvanised for long life and excellent conductivity.

Complete with:

Ground cable ø2.5mm (25 metres) - 35 Ohm/1km
Ground cable is used to connect the energiser to the fence and the earth rods. The cable is also used to make underground fence connections, for instance, under gates or openings. This 2.5mm ground cable should be used for distances of more than 30 metres*. The handy metre marks on the cable, makes set up easy as the measuring is done for you. *For distances less than 30 metres then 1.6mm ground cable is recommended.

Earth clamp
An earth clamp connects the lead out cable from the energiser to an earth rod. The earth clamp guarantees a secure connection between the energiser and earthing system for optimum electrical conductivity.

€9.95*
Earthing coupler
An earthing coupler is used to connect two earth rods together to achieve effective, deeper earthing.

Bentonite earthing mix
Bentonite earthing mix is a recommended earthing option. Earthing a fence energiser is essential in order for it to work correctly and deliver an effective shock. The Bentonite mix is quick and easy to use, is particularly effective in poor earthing soils (dry or sandy soil) and for earthing larger fence energisers. The earthing mix includes an earth clamp and a salt and absorbent clay mixture, which retains moisture. Earthing rods are also required (but not included).

Double mobile earth stake (2x0.5m, including 3 metre cable)
Double 0.5-metre earth stake with conduction comparable to a 1-metre earth stake. Its length and design make its installation and removal much easier. This makes this earth stake an ideal solution for mobile scaring devices powered by 9V battery, 12V battery or solar energy. Made of 8 mm thick galvanised steel. Includes 3-metre cable for direct connection to the energiser.

Ground cable connector (pack of 2)
A ground cable connector provides a safe, waterproof, underground connection between two ground cables. A good, secure connection is important to prevent power loss in the electric fence. Ground cable connectors are easy to fit and are suitable for all types of ground cable: 1.6mm, 2.5mm and 2.7mm.
