I have built an electronic fence and it isnt haveing any affect. What I did was take my chain link fence and put isolaters on the top that hold up the horizontal pole thing. so only the top crossbar is electrified and it cant come in contact to the ground via the vertical posts or anything.
then close to the house I connected a wire to the horizontal pole with pipe solder (i drilled a hole first), and the other end of the wire I ran down to the basement and connected it to the side in the fuse box on the black side. But i screwed it on the bar at a point in the wiring before any of the fuses, because I know it requires lots of power and would probably blow a fuse otherwise. After i was done I put an electric tester on the fence with one end stuck into the grass and it lit up so I know its working.
But its not having any affect on anyone. There are these teenagers that keep climbing over my fense to cross across my property and I watched them just the other day. They both grabbed the top pole to get over the fence and they didnt get electrocuted. I think it has something to do with because they were wearing shoes and they were grounded? Like how birds can sit on the telephone wire.
I wonder what can be done to fix this? I heard one time on the discovery channel that more ampes can even go thru shoes and things from a small distance. Is that true? Im trying to think of a way to boost my power. I hooked my fence to 120 voltage but I know my house has 220 because my dryer runs on it. but the outlet for that has 4 wires and I dont know which wires to hook up to my fence? If someone can help me with the wire colors to run to the fence Ill try that. Will that be enough power? Or should i run more wires from my fuse box? thanks
