Abstract

This paper introduces fundamental concepts of electric fence technology, presents a new design method for a livestock electric fence energizer circuit and impulse transformer as well a mathematic analyze of the circuit. A new expression for design single impulse transformers for this kind of application is presented who has different project criteria from conventional transformer applications. The energizer equipment is rounded about many concepts, safety standards and data performance that are discussed. An electric circuit prototype of electric fence energizer equipment for livestock use was implemented and the results are showed. This work is based on a study developed in a Master Thesis
