Gallagher Electric Fence Energisers

Electric fence energisers are the power source behind every electric fence, providing the pulse voltage and energy required for effective operation. At Gallagher, the focus is on maintaining a stable voltage in conductors such as high-tensile wire, tape, rope and polywire, with minimal energy loss throughout the system. The choice of energiser depends primarily on the application and type of livestock, supplemented by factors such as fence length, the number of conductors, and resistance caused by vegetation or current leakage. The quality of the earthing system, together with the chosen power source, whether mains power, battery, rechargeable battery or solar energy, largely determines fence performance.

Which fence energiser do I need?

Choose your animal, the power source, the size of your paddock and how much vegetation grows along the fence. We will calculate the recommended output energy.

*Indicative advice, based on Gallagher's recommended area per energiser. Is the soil very dry, or is the fence extra long because of an irregular shape? Then choose a more powerful energiser.

Tip: Good earthing is the foundation of an effective electric fence. Discover why earthing is so important and how to install it correctly. Read more.

Choosing the right energizer

To choose the correct energizer, consider the length of your fence, the level of vegetation, the number of wires and the type of animal. The higher the resistance and the less sensitive the animal is to the fence, the more output your energizer will require.

*By resistance, we refer to any factor that causes energy loss within the fence system, such as fence length, vegetation and suboptimal earthing.
