I have never heard of any electric fence being more than ten thousand volts, however the voltage is not important --- it's the amperage. Amps are a measure of current / conductivity, so a high-amp jolt will kill even at low voltage. This is how tasers can be lethal. This Concentration Camp fences are also a continuous-current fence which is never done in normal applications. The current is pulsed on-and-off to ensure that you are not lethally shocked; since this is not the case with the Concentration Camp fences, any inmate who touched the fence would form a capacitator, a pathway, through the fence and thereby be unable to let go of the fence. I am not exactly sure of the Biology chemistry and physics involved but for whatever reason electric currents cause paralysis, and a really high voltage (powerful) current would probably hold you in place by force. Again don't quote me on that last part, but I think that you can actually suspend someone in mid-air with an electric current (until they boil and explode of course). Yeah, I would say 10,000 volts. But those sadistic freaks might have used more juice, even if it would be economically unsound to do so. 1/2 amps is enough to kill, so they had to be at least 0.5 amps.

A Farmer claims the the high-voltage transmission lines running parallel to his fence induces dangerously high voltages on the fence Is this within the realm of possibility?
Yes, this is in the realm of possibility and in fact happens. It will not be a dangerously high voltage induced into the fence but you will be able to feel it. Proper grounding of the fence will eliminate the condition.
Is output of electric fence charger ac or dc?
The output of an electric fencer is a high voltage pulse of DC voltage.
What types of material are available for a new security fence?
Some materials that are available for a new security fence include Steel, Chain-link and Aluminum. You can order security fence materials online from the Hoover Fence website.
What type of welding is used in fence manufacturing?
Resistance welding plants are used in fence manufacturing.
How a bucking voltage acts?
bucking voltage is a voltage which is of opposite polarity to the voltage it acts .
How much voltage was in the concentration camp fence?
600 VOLTS

How do you bypass an electric fence?
Go around it. Low voltage fences may be damaged by crossing, and high voltage can be deadly.
Is output of electric fence charger ac or dc?
The output of an electric fencer is a high voltage pulse of DC voltage.
Will an electric fence harm wildlife?
If you make sure it is ona low voltage, an electric fence can be a safe and effective way to keep the animals you want in your fence in and those you want out on the other side of the fence without harm. When kept on a low voltage it would give off enough of a shock to startle and scare of wildlife without causing damage.
Is it illegal to electrify a bike and leave it on your lawn?
If the voltage is higher then that of a commercial electric fence I would not recommend it.
Will an electric fence work for a redbone coonhound?
Sure but you need to train it with the fence. Check the owner's manual. You need to show your dog where it is allowed to go and adjust voltage if not high enough.
Can an electric fence be battery-operated?
I've seen it done with a car battery, but length determines voltage requirements.
Electric fence are not connected to the ground in the circuit?
A short answer:An electric fence is connected to the ground only when an animal or a human being touches it to complete a circuit from the fence to the ground.A longer answer:The wires of an electric fence are not connected directly to the ground because, if that was done, the fence would be shorted out and would not be able to do its job!This is how an electric fence is actually hooked-up: the electric fence is connected to one side of a specially designed high voltage source and the return side of that source is connected to the ground.Then, whenever the skin of any animal - or human - touches the wire whilst standing on the ground in bare feet, they get a high-voltage (10,000) DC electric pulse from the electric fence. The shocks are designed to be only enough to make them jump back from the fence, not to "electrocute" them so badly as to cause serious injury or death.
Will an electric dog fence cause harm to my dog?
if the dog goes near it and they might get shocked if it climbs on it. An electic dog fence will not cause damage to your dog. The voltage is rated low enough that it won't cause damage.
How many volts are in an electric fence?
It depends on who owns it. If you want a low voltage one, then you buy a low voltage one. If you are talking about a ranch cattle fencer, mine puts out about 15,000 volts.
How do you turn a regular fence into an electric fence?
The fence must be made of a conducting material, such as steel. The fence must be isolated from the ground, using insulators. It must not touch the ground or the posts suspending it, except through insulators made of non-conducting material, such as pottery, glass or plastic. A high voltage, low current, generator can then be connected to it. One pole into the ground, using a metal rod pushed into the ground, and the other onto the fence. Most generators are driven by a battery, through an oscillator and then a transformer, which increases the voltage. It is better to use a generator properly manufactured, for the purpose of providing a small shock, without risk of death or fire.
