What happens here
After running the polybraid hot wire through all the insulators, the final step is to connect it to the electric fence energizer. Ensure the energizer is turned OFF before making any connections to prevent electric shock. The presenter also highlights the practice of powering fences with repurposed automotive batteries. These batteries, no longer suitable for cars, can still provide sufficient power for electric fences for several years, offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution before being turned in for recycling.
Goal: Energize the newly installed hot wire.
