RE: Electric fence interference - Nekota - 2019-06-23
An improvement (reduction) in the level of interference generated can be made by making the connection from the fence power output to the fence wiring a low resistance path. I found the noisy connection had been made with an oxidized aluminum wire and could hear the connection popping on each electrical pulse. I replace the aluminum with a tin plated copper wire (something like 14 or 12 gauge solid) and used a wire nut to connect the tinned copper to the galvanized fence wire. This made a noticeable difference in the amount of signal seen by system blue H channels. I did not retest with the oxidized connection to verify the noise improvement.
