I went to a really good Extension class the other night on electric fence. While the speaker was the Gallagher sales rep what he said was good general stuff. They are recommending galvanized ground rods, galvanized wire to the charger, and then on to the fence. He said they are seeing more problems with bi-metallic interference than any other single cause. Of course there will still be the potential for electrolysis from the wire to the tape but a little anti oxidant electrical paste and some heat shrink tubing to keep the water out should take care of that.
I've got a total of 4 energizers at two different farms. Just havent gotten enough built to connect to one at each place. On the main charger, running 8 joules off of 110v I've got 3 ground rods. The remote chargers each have one 8 foot galvanized rod, buried horizontal since we are closer than 8 feet to bedrock. Any of them will shoot a blue arc a quarter inch off the wire.
One of the best things he said in the class was to remind us that what seperates the tigers from the gazelles at the zoo here is 8 strands of electrified high tensile wire.
