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.

How do you test an electric fence to ensure it is functioning properly?

To test an electric fence, use a fence tester tool to measure the voltage at different points along the fence. If the voltage reading is within the recommended range, the fence is functioning properly.


How can I determine if an electric fence is operational?

To determine if an electric fence is operational, you can use a voltage tester or a fence tester to check the voltage running through the fence. Simply touch the tester to the fence wire and it will indicate if there is a current flowing through it. Make sure to follow safety precautions when testing an electric fence.


How can I determine if an electric fence is operational and working effectively?

To determine if an electric fence is operational and working effectively, you can use a voltage tester to check the voltage output at various points along the fence. Make sure the voltage reading is within the recommended range for your specific fence system. Additionally, you can visually inspect the fence for any damage or vegetation touching the wires, as these can affect its effectiveness.


How can one effectively test an electric fence to ensure its functionality and safety?

To effectively test an electric fence for functionality and safety, use a voltage tester specifically designed for electric fences. First, turn off the power to the fence. Then, place the tester on the fence wire to check for voltage. If the tester indicates a voltage reading, the fence is functioning. Additionally, visually inspect the fence for any damage or wear that may compromise its safety.


How much voltage was in the concentration camp fence?

600 VOLTS


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.


How do you bypass an electric fence?

Go around it. Low voltage fences may be damaged by crossing, and high voltage can be deadly.


How can I check an electric fence to ensure it is functioning properly?

To check if an electric fence is working properly, use a fence tester to measure the voltage. Make sure the voltage is within the recommended range for the type of animals you are containing. Also, visually inspect the fence for any damage or vegetation touching the wires that could cause a short circuit.


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.


How can I test if an electric fence is working properly?

To test if an electric fence is working properly, you can use a fence tester or a voltmeter to measure the voltage output of the fence. Make sure to follow safety precautions and consult the manufacturer's instructions for proper testing procedures.


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.
