[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 393135, member: 1744"] Think that we're not talking about the same things when we want "shock" power in a fence....chargers are rated in Joules. Line voltage is rated in amps. Not the same folks.... The guys that run straight line voltage, whether or not stepped down with bulbs, toasters of radios are putting a high amperage current through the animal or whatever contacts the circuit. The current will stay there until the circuit is broken, hopefully by tripping the circuit breaker or blowing a fuse (for those of us familiar with such old time stuff) and not the death of the animal. The charger is designed to give a momentary shock then have a uncharged wire...this allows the animal or farmer a second or two to react to the experience and move away...not stay connected to the ccircuit. The Long Green Mile comes to mind when reading this thread. Get a person across the contraption and the legal definiation changes to "man trap"...not easily explained in court. And thats my two bits worth...asked for or not! Dmc [/QUOTE]
