Most fence chargers are not continuious output..but timed cycles. .5
seconds on, .5 seconds off...etc etc.

This helps keep smaller critters from muscular contraction keeping the
little critter "stuck" to the fence and suffocating when their lungs
freeze up.

Larger livestock fences can be full time, part time, programmable etc
etc.

Lots of them around here to keep stock from going through the fence.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
