This is complete list of terms you will need when troubleshooting electric fence. If you nee help understanding the electric fence language, then please call our office for help. 717-786-0369

Term - Definition

AC - See "Alternating Current"

Alternating Current - An electric current that reverses direction at regular intervals,

having a magnitude that varies continuously in a sinusoidal

manner

Arc - A discharge of electricity through air or a gas.

Ampere - The unit expressing the rate of flow of an electric current.

Breakdown Voltage - The voltage at which a dielectric material fails.

Circuit - A conductive path over which an electric charge may flow.

DC - See "Direct Current".

Direct Current - Electric current in which electrons flow in one direction only.

Opposite of alternating current.

Electricity - The flow of electrons through a conducting medium.

Electrical Safety - Recognizing hazards associated with the use of electrical

energy and taking precautions so that hazards do not cause

injury or death.

Induced Voltage - A voltage produced around a closed path or circuit by a

change of magnetic flux linking that path.

Insulator - A device that is used to electrically isolate a conductor or

electrical device from ground or a different electrical

potential.

Joule Output - One Joule is one Watt per second. It’s the measure of units

of energy. Stored Joules is only a theoretical element without

practical significance.

Ohm - A unit of electrical resistance defined as the resistance of a

circuit with a voltage of one volt and a current flow of one

ampere.

Ohm's Law - E=IR; l=E/R; R=E/I; Where E = Voltage impressed on a circuit, I = current flowing in a circuit and R = circuitresistance. Ohm's Law is used for calculating voltage drop,fault current and other characteristics of an electrical circuit

Regulator - A device that is used to control the voltage of a circuit by

raising and lowering it.

Resistance - The opposition to current flow, expressed in ohms.

Short Circuit - A load that occurs when a conductor comes into contact with

another conductor or grounded object. An abnormal

connection of relatively low impedance between two points of

different potentials

Tensile Strength - The greatest longitudinal force that a substance can bear

without tearing apart or rupturing; also called ultimate tensile

strength.

Volt - A unit of electromotive force. The electrical potential needed

to produce one ampere of current with a resistance of one

ohm.

Kenya's government is to inaugurate a project that will encircle much of the country's highest peak with an electric fence to stop wild animals straying.

It is being designed to stop wildlife, particularly elephants, on Mt Kenya from destroying crops on nearby farms.

On completion it will be about 400km (250 miles) long, stand 2m (6ft 6in) high and extend a metre underground.

The charity building the fence, Rhino Ark, believes it will take five years to complete.

"It is going to encircle 2,000 sq km (772 sq miles) of indigenous forests on the mountain, and a source of many, many rivers and outflows in all directions from the mountains," Colin Church from Rhino Ark told the BBC.

According to the charity, it is being done in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service and with the support of the Kenya Forest Service.

Mt Kenya, at 5,199m, is Africa's second highest peak and the mountain and its forest were designated as a World Heritage site by Unesco in 1997.

Wildly optimistic?
The fence, which will have five electrified strands, will discourage wild animals from straying from the mountain's forests and devastating crops on the small holdings on the other side of the fence.

It discharges a shock, but not one that endangers people or animals.

Building the first phase of the fence, which will be 50km long, has already begun and is expected to be completed by the beginning of 2014, Rhino Ark says.

Minister of Finance Njeru Githae is to drive a post into the ground to officially inaugurate the project on Friday.

BBC Africa analyst Martin Plaut says the scheme may seem wildly optimistic, but Rhino Ark has already fenced in the Aberdare mountains, which provide water for Kenya's capital, Nairobi.

That fence took 12 years to complete.

But with government support and finance, Mr Church believes the Mt Kenya project, expected to cost about $11.8m (£7.4m), should be much faster.

The charity raises $1m a year from a sporting event - the Rhino Charge - an off-road motorsport competition that has been held in Kenya every year since 1989.

thank you for all the electric fence orders while our store was closed for inventory and christmas and new years. we will ship all the orders out oin monday january 5th!

Lancaster County Graziers is planning another learning session for people interested in the grass-fed opportunity. This is planned for Tuesday and Wednesday, February 17-18, 2015. The theme for 2015 is Maximizing Energy Harvest. This is pretty much about working with nature instead of working against or ignoring it.
Beginning Tuesday Morning at 9 am sharp Elam Stoltzfus (second time speaker) will discuss maximizing energy harvest through grazing management. Cliff Hawbaker will be with us again to discuss ideas in preparing for present and future. His second session will focus on financial sustainability and succession planning. Tuesday afternoon, Judy Mudrack, European tour organizer and book author, will take us on a video tour of Switzerland, showing us some interesting aspects about Swiss dairy farms. Last on for Tuesday are Brendon and Katia Holmes from Misty Brook Farm in Maine. This is a diversified farm founded in 2002 on rented ground and now owns 400 acres and
employs 7-8 workers doing dairy, layers pork, and vegetables. The second talk on Wednesday will give some detail on the move from New York State to Maine in search of land security and ownership. Simeon Yoder, cheese maker and dairy farmer, will discuss his journey in revitalizing exploited soils and cheese making and marketing. Elmer Stoltzfus will end the day Wednesday with some thoughts and ideas on record keeping and benchmarks for success.
Please see program above for times that speakers present. Each of these speakers bring experience that alone should be worth your time and registration cost, but together you cannot afford to miss this learning opportunity. If grain free dairy grazing is of interest to you this will be an opportunity to learn from four dairy farmers that are doing it and reaping a premium for it. See attached flier about a January meeting with Cheyenne Christianson of northern WI. That meeting is focused on zero grain/all-grass and forage milk production and will be a real learning opportunity for anyone currently feeding grain or not.

Note that we are changing our meeting location to the Lancaster Ag headquarters located on Ronks Road east of Lancaster. Hope to see you there!
