Would like to install power from a Inverter to run my fence charger. inverter power supply is 12 volt truck battery. Inverter out put 109 volts. My question is do I ground fence charger to EARTH or to NEG. terminal of battery ? If I ground to Earth how will the
circuit be completed? Maybe it is not possible to run a fence charger by a inverter.

Re: Ele fence
You ground the fence charger to earth, just like you do if it's plugged into line power.
The circuit to power the charger (completed by 2 wires in the power cord) is separate from the one that shocks an animal. The animal exciting circuit is charger -> fence -> animal -> ground -> back to charger by the earth ground on the charger.

Re: Ele fence
Thank you,
Our sweet corn will be ready soon, I always run a line from house to garden, but changed locations this year.

Re: Ele fence
Hook it up straight 120V. That will take care of those wasklely deer and raccoons.

Re: Ele fence
They won’t like the regular electric fence, either.
We’ve been having a terrible time with rabbits this year. I have a wire at six inches and another about 12 inches. They seem to be able to easily avoid them. Probably jumping over the 12 inch wire. So, I added 24 inch poultry mesh. We’ll see if that stops them.

Re: Ele fence
Very few rabbits around here. Most of the rabbits are in town or close to town.

Re: Ele fence
That’s probably because of the neighbor’s cats. Or maybe foxes or coyotes.
