Abstract :
This paper introduces fundamental concepts of electric fence technology and present a new design procedure for a livestock electric fence energizer circuit and impulse transformer. This work is based on a study developed in a master thesis. The available information in this field is practically restricted on industry builders know how and their field experience. In this paper, the energizer equipment is rounded about many concepts, safety standards and data performance that are discussed. An electric circuit simulation and prototype of electric fence energizer equipment for livestock use are showed
