Hi Shaun and Techno -

Hi Techno, guess you do more than me - never had a tx gone meself but guess the antipodes is wetter than the old UK with all this warming stuff giving us a summer warmer than that  '70's biz.

Admit electric fence stuff in UK is currently on hold due to excessive drought, and where our food  animals are liable to giggle, due to that small earth leakage - Maggie and our Queen would have had some suggestions - makes one think, well, a bit  - Chris.

Hi, Turnip.  If you place a dry glass bottle with the neck end pointing to the ground indoors, eventually you find moisture in the bottom of the bottle (which is now at the top). I expect since most of the electric fence chargers are weatherproof they are fully sealed at the top with no vents.  The condensation probably builds up with time. Maybe that has something to do with it. Just why we have more faults of this kind, I can't answer. One technician I had working for me said that the chargers for sheep had a lower output voltage and less power than the ones for cattle, so, if true, that could be a reason. I think we would have more cattle stations than you would. We would certainly have longer fences!  That reminds me - there should be a solar powered unit here somewhere with a duff transformer. I should pinch the panel and put it to use powering a doorbell or something.  All the best.....Technomaniac.

Hi Tech,

Interesting thought.

As a home beer maker, have many upturned bottles and have never noticed a build up of moisture indoors, thankfully.

Most fence chargers are left out in the rain 'till they die, and with temperature variations causing air pressure changes, moisture inevitably builds internally until a short occurs.

Had the same trouble with bird scarers where moisture kills the works and no shematics available, but just discovered a V1 blueprint on 'Yesterday' - Chris.
