[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1645460, member: 24583"] You’re gonna need a tester or either be wiling to touch it. Unhook the fence at the charger and make sure the box is working without the wire hooked up. After that it’s time to check all connections, corner insulators, and any other components. If that’s all good you will need to check individual insulators very well. As mentioned above, it sounds like a dead short or a bad box. I overdo all my grounding systems. I have (4) 8’ rods of 2500’ of fence. On another I have (6) 8’ rods on 6000’ foot of 3 strand (2 hot and one ground) on 35 acres with (3) of the rods spaced along the fence and tied to the ground wire. It’s a pain and takes time to do all of this, but my fences always average 8000 volts minimum and with good moisture will get close to 12000 volts. Sure makes the cows respect them. It will make a audible pop from 100 yards away when a new animal tests it or when I get too close. I hate being shocked [/QUOTE]
