With a mains connection or mains-independent?
If there is a mains power supply at the fence, 230 V mains-powered units are ideal for stationary use. Different classes of equipment are available depending on the length of the fence and the power requirements. For areas without a mains connection, Fritz Göbel offers 9 V battery-powered units and 12 V rechargeable battery units – ranging from compact units to high-performance models for more demanding fencing systems.
Flexible with a battery, solar power or a combined unit
If you want to use your electric fence energiser flexibly, you can choose between different power supply options. Depending on the model, combination units can be operated using 9 V, 12 V and/or 230 V. Solar kits combine a 12 V battery-powered unit with a solar panel, thereby enabling off-grid operation in areas without a mains power supply.
In addition to the available power supply, fence length, vegetation and power requirements are important selection criteria. For sites with a mains connection, 230 V units are available, whilst 9 V battery-powered and 12 V rechargeable battery-powered units allow for off-mains operation. For higher power requirements, Fritz Göbel offers correspondingly more powerful models within the various product ranges.
9 V devices are powered by pastoral fence batteries and are suitable for off-grid use. 12 V devices operate using rechargeable batteries and also offer flexible operation without a mains connection. 230 V mains-powered devices are connected directly to the mains supply. Which variant is suitable depends on the location and the requirements of the fencing system.
For long fence systems, particular attention should be paid to ensuring that the electric fence energiser has sufficient power reserves. Fritz Göbel offers both mains-powered and battery-powered units for higher power requirements and longer fences. The most suitable model also depends on the fence design, vegetation and local conditions.
A combination unit is ideal if the power supply may vary or if particularly flexible use is required. The Göbel range includes, for example, units for 9/12 V, 12/230 V and 9/12/230 V. This means that the same unit – depending on the specific model – can be operated using different power sources.
Solar kits are suitable for locations without a fixed mains power supply, where a 12 V battery-powered device needs to be operated as independently as possible. The Göbel solar kits combine a battery-powered device with a solar panel; individual solar modules are also available.
A battery-powered unit is ideal if there is no mains supply at the site and the electric fence is to be operated independently of the mains. Fritz Göbel offers electric fence batteries in various designs and capacities for this purpose. The choice of suitable battery depends on the specific electric fence energiser and its power requirements.
High-performance electric fence energisers may be required for longer fence systems designed to deter wildlife. The Magnus A 4500 MC 12-volt from Fritz Göbel, for example, is also designed for long fences used to keep out wildlife. When selecting the right energiser, particular attention should be paid to the length of the fence, vegetation and the specific requirements of the fence system in question.
