[QUOTE="travlnusa, post: 257653, member: 1469"] I have a 3 joule fence charger. That is working just fine, but I only have about 1000 volts near the charger, and it drops the further I go. Total run is about 2 miles ( 2 wire, 1 mile each). I have three ground rods, 10 feet apart, down 7 feet each. As I walk the fence trying to find any metal touching it, I noticed that at each insulator on each t-post, I can hear the "click" of the charger coming on. The further from the charger I get, the less I hear the click. I have quite a bit of grass touching the newly run wire. I will mow that down in the morning to see if that helps. I just can not explain the clicking noise at each insulated t-post. Any ideas? Thanks [/QUOTE]
