ICTJohnboy Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Serious answer (probably the only one you'll get on here) Why not power the fence from a battery connected to a mains powered battery charger? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The cause is surely quite obvious? Water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud1876 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Why would you install an electric fence? To heat the water probably 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Sarge is good with fences and stuff. thLNFOU1SC.jpg Aye, it all depends on the size of the labour camp he's building. It could be desperate inmates throwing themselves on to it. If it is that he'll need to shoot a few, to teach them a lesson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, serious head on for this one. I take it when you say it trips all the properties supply the main isolator is a RCD, it'll have a press to test button on it. Are there any junction boxes or a panel located outside, supplying the fence? If so that would be my first point for investigation. As it sounds like an ingress of moisture is causing an earth fault, which will trip your RCD main. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
