Hello,
I've fenced my garden using an electric fence to keep out cats (street) and keep in our pure bread cats. As garden vegetation touch the wires shorts are created lessening the functionality of the fence. Is there a simple way to measure the voltage between the ground pin and the fence.
I've been told that (allthough very low current (specially suited equipment for small animals)) the voltage is around 7000 volts.
I have no idea if this is true but a simple test with an old multimeter (surplus) simply blew the fuse. 8)
If you guys have any ideas I'd be glad to hear about them.
