I had no idea y'all put the band back together

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.

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.

My only problem with ol' sparky now is figuring 

out a hot wire break.

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.
