Various types of insulators are available for electric fences, including:
Tension Insulators: Used at the start and end of the fence and for changes in direction.
Corner Insulators: Designed specifically for corners.
Line Insulators: For straight sections of the fence.
Using the correct insulators for different types of electric wire and tape is crucial for maintaining the safety, durability, and low maintenance costs of the fence.
Combining Insulators and Wire
Combining high-quality insulators with good electric wire ensures that the wire remains properly tensioned and easy to adjust. Insulators help minimize current leakage through the posts and prevent the wire from touching vegetation, which could cause power loss. Proper use of insulators is essential for an effective electric fencing system.
