RE: I had no idea y'all put the band back together - crazyon - 03-01-2021
Concerning the electric fence...It's a 12 volt split pulsing circuit that
is run at this time by 4 - 1400 amp diesel truck cranker batteries charged by
2 large separate solar panels...My only problem with ol' sparky now is figuring
out a hot wire break...meaning everything looks ok but i believe somewhere in the dead zone a few wire connectors will need to be found with a meter and tightened
Today we had another wild lightening storm blow through before noon and it took out a major transformer that runs the service side of the property and the city's own pump-station...the city worked all afternoon to get the service restored but all the city run/owned frontage lights that we pay for are still dark...the other side of the circuit leg where our own street lights, sign and sales office are connected to, are operational.
It's been a wild 2 weeks

So you really went for it the right way. Not just all the structure, but power apart from the commercial stuff. Way to go!
I don't remember if you stated the purpose of the fence. Electric, probably animals, maybe predators?
Weird how right after installing, the city power would go out. Maybe that is frequent there, however.
I lived in a New Mexico mountain town for one summer that got afternoon lightning storms nearly every day.

How you gonna do that? I've seen wireless circuit testers. But would any of them cover the span you are dealing with!! No clue.

Crazyon says: Ol' Sparky was installed after we replaced an old chain link fence with barbed wire with a New wrought-iron fence to comply with city ordinances.
afterwards the thieves were cutting through the fence with battery operated saws and attempting to cut off catalytic converters in the early am...I never saw em but I must have kept spookin em because they never were ever to completely remove one; the idiots just left em hangin and sections of the new fence destroyed.
Thats when ol' sparky was installed inside the IRON FENCE...
ANSWERING your question about finding the break is simple...Take your commercial meter and tape a long wire with a clip to the meters ground test lead and connect it to the fence ground wire and go up the fence and check each connection with the positive lead >>> Fence must be powered OFF and a ladder is required since sparky is 10' tall
The linemen are here now tryin to fix the frontage lights that were
knocked out...This is ongoing round he`re since this place is located
in a tornado zone...The tornado's follow the cell phone towers from
Ft Worth getting microwave charged and follow the towers all the way to the Red River...There's a well known look out point up the street
where the enemedia camps out to photograph tornado's for the
'if it bleeds-it leads' evening snooze coverage...I posted some
of the tornado footage on the old MC site years ago.

An Update on 'sparky' I haven't found any shorts in the system so I'm now using the standard length meter probes, setting the meter to 'ohms' testing every wire connection throughout the dead fence line...having found a few connections that needed tightening, I'll keep goin Till I'm finished and see if I can make the dead zone go live tomorrow or Wed.
