Shandon Par Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I have just installed an electric fence, an the damned thing is tripping g the property electric supply when it rains, Any suggestions on the possible cause never had this issue again. Dodgy Ground Faulty Interrupter (GFI)? Could be lethal so probably an idea to check it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugna Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I doubt there's any fault, here: you are probably getting some current to ground, and the earth leakage protection is doing its job. If you can't get a safe level of current that is tolerated by your breaker, then some form of isolation is required - e.g. a battery or an isolating transformer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el buitre Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Genuine electrician here: what is tripping? Main rcd? Rcbo? Surely your "electric fence" needs to be fed off a main switch. Either that or your first victim/tresspasser will blow the breaker letting zombie hoardes/cattle into your compound/land???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattydfc Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I hate when the hostages try too escape as well, don't worry. But I've found just chaining them to the radiator is easier than building an electric fence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 On a similar note, I've just bought my missus a chair for Christmas all it needs is a plug. Grimbo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Put an advert on the radio. I've put a card in the post office door window, mind it caused a bit of a flux because I'd put it over the Chrisymas opening times. The filthy calls from our dentured community was unbelievable, I had to have a lie down with a strong cuppa & 2 custard creams.

Scary Bear Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm thinking of installing a plug in my bathroom so I can plug my toaster in. I love eating toast in the bath. I think I'll sit my toaster by the taps. Can this be done? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
