[QUOTE="dps, post: 1453908, member: 18532"] I have a problem with my electric fence. I had it hooked up and if it is just hooked to the short section (100 yards) it reads 11 on the meter, when I hooked it up to the entire fence (about a mile of fence) it dropped to 5.2, so I added 3 more 6ft copper grounding rods (now makes 5 total) the sort section still reads 11 and the other jumped to 7.4 which I was pleased with that. As I was going thru my gate I checked the fence and it said 7.2, for some reason I do not recall why I put the tester on the underground wire I purchased from Kencove and thru the plastic it read 2.8, so I unhooked it and the and hooked fences together with a piece of wire and entire fence read 10.6. So why is my underground wire bleeding thru? I tried a 3 wire 110 (like you use wiring a house) and just hooked up 1 wire and it bleeds thru it (3.2) and tried an outdoor extension cord and it bleeds thru (4.4). Am I doing something wrong? I have a Stafix x6 plug in charger running on high tensile fence. I use ceramic insulators on the ends and the 4 inch black plastic insulators the silde the wire thru (they bleed thru also). Thanks in advance for your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
