I recently purchased a Power Wizard electric fence charger. It's a PW1000, 25 mile. The light on the box shows it's working, and my voltage tester shows it's working. However, when the cows touch it, it does not seem to be working.
My old one was installed by my grandfather in the 70s, so I've never had to give this any thought until recently. The only thing I see is that the instructions for the new charger shows three ground posts, but the old one just has one, and that's how it's currently hooked up. Could that be the difference? It's no more than a couple of miles total.
My small herd is gentle, so I haven't had any problems with them getting out; they still respect it as the boundary, but I've seen them brush against it with no reaction. With the old one, they certainly stepped away in a hurry if they touched it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
