I have been using a Gallagher (spelling?)fence charger that is a 6 volt. I noticed the cows out this morning and began to investigate. The charger is putting out 8.9 according to my volt meter. I hooked it to the fence and it showed 0.2. I found one short after walking the fence. I repaired the short and I can only get it to 4.8 on the fence about one foot from the charger. I have it grounded with two pieces of re-bar sunk about four foot apiece. I notice the ground wire clamp was arking when I hooked it to one of the pieces of re-bar. As you can probably tell I am not too savvy when it comes to electricity. I have walked the fence two additional times and cannot find any other places where it is grounded out. The fence is less than 1/2 mile long and is poly wire and smooth wire. I put a brand new charger on it and got approximately the same results. I moved both chargers to a different fence and the were both hitting at 8.9. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
