What happens here

With the fence wire tensioned and connected, it's time to energize the fence. Connect the negative terminal of the fence energizer to the ground rod using a ground wire and clamp. Then, connect the positive terminal of the energizer to the poly-braid fence wire using an insulated hot wire. Once connected, the fence energizer will begin to emit high-voltage, low-amperage pulses. Use a live fence indicator (tester) to confirm that the fence is actively charged. The pulsated electric fence acts as a psychological barrier, training livestock to avoid it.

Goal: Activate the electric fence and verify its functionality.
