[QUOTE="schastain, post: 1851467, member: 43683"] I just set up a four-line fence around the garden to keep the deer out. My charger is inside a shed about 10 feet from the beginning of the wall. I have a 6' ground rod in the ground near the fence. The fence is held up on t-post with insulators. I'm only getting about 2.2 and lower as I go around the fence checking. At the beginning of the run I'm hearing clicking at the ground rod. And when I touch the ground near the rod, I get a nice little bite. There is nothing touching the fence, and the lines do not touch the t-post. So I guess I have multiple problems...low voltage in wires and arching at the ground rod. Any ideas what I should check? Thanks Everyone. Steve Chastain [/QUOTE]
