Protection of the energizer of electrical fencing from lightning.
Description
The lightning rod has 2 terminals to connect to the electrical fence and one terminal to connect to its own dedicated ground.
Connection
The coil is connected in series to the electrical fence, between the line and the energizer. At the lower stem of the lightning rod we connect its ground with a high voltage cable and place it at a distance of at least 10 meters from the ground of the energizer.
How It Works
Electric fencing is an easy and fast way for lightning to reach the ground. If lightning strikes the fence at any point, a large current will pass through the energizer to be directed to the ground, thus destroying it. An effective way is to disconnect the energizer from the fence for as long as there is a risk of lightning.
But this is not very practical and there is always the possibility of a storm catching us unprepared. To protect our energizer, we connect in series a lightning rod system, with its own exclusive ground rod. When the current is suddenly increased by a lightning bolt, it closes the circuit of the lightning rod and directs the current to its own ground.
