Insulated Undergate and Hookup Wire and Insulator Tubing
Insulated electric fence wire, whose insulation can contain up to 20 kilovolts, has several uses. Unlike ordinary extension cord (which cannot contain very high voltages) it can carry an electric fence charger’s output from the charger to the electric fence. It can also connect the electric fence charger’s ground terminal to one or more ground rods. It can carry an electric charge from the charged electric fence line to various components of electric fence gates. And since it can be buried underground, it can also carry the fence’s electric charge underneath an electric fence gate from one side of the gate to the other. Alternatively, any sort of metal electric fence wire (see previous page) can be threaded through a length of insulator tubing (product 02-85 below) and used as insulated undergate and hookup wire.
