I had a horse that would leave the fence alone until the charger stopped working.Years ago I had a balance wheel charger on a fence around a pump house.I could hear the charger click 700 feet away.Many farmers here think that cattle can smell the ozone around a charged wire.I can smell ozone working on tv sets.I do think that cattle and horses are constantly testing a fence.About barbed wire on an electric fence ,DONT. Ive seen a horses leg torn up after it spooked and ran thru an electric fence and dragged a few hundred of charged wire along.Many years ago a fellow built a home brew charger from a tv power transformer and fenced his sweet corn.A thief tried to get some free corn on a wet night,got caught in the barbed wire and died on the spot.Not guilty of manslaughter, 1000.00 fine.A friend told me about his neighbor using a 25w bulb connected to 120v ac line to keep a sow pig in .Result dead pig..What you dont know CAN hurt you..I have seen flames coming out of a battery charger and when I did fire reports For Our volunteer dept.I remember several fires started by battery chargers.The old weed burner fence chargers can start grass fires and burn buildings.We answered a fire call where a small hen house caught fire.It was close to a house.I noticed an electric fence wire running along the hen house wall.Followed it back to the shed attached to the house and found a weed burner fence charger buzzing away.It was plain that the old tarpaper on the hen house started burning next to the wire.
