Electric Fencing Conductors

In its simplest form the conductor is a strand of galvanised steel wire. However due to the different demands required from a conductor, the range of electric fencing conductors available is considerable.

Galvanised steel wire is often used for permanent electric fences where cattle, pigs or larger wild animals are the target animal. It is also very cost effective over longer fence lengths. Specialist wire is now available with alloy coatings to reduce power loss over the length of the fence. Plastic coated wire with lines of graphite set into the plastic allow for a permanent electric fence that is safe for horses. Where temporary electric fencing is required, a stranded wire is more appropriate as it is easily dispensed and rewound onto rolls.

Strands of wire are also incorporated into nylon rope or tape. These provide conductors that are flexible, easy to handle, log lasting and are highly visible, a concern in particular where horses are involved. The mixed construction also makes them well suited to horse fencing. 

The final form of conductor available is a form of netting that is suited to smaller animals such as sheep. This is generally constructed from nylon line interwoven with steel wire to carry the current. Mesh sizes vary but generally apertures are in the order of 150mmx70mm at the base rising to 150x150mm at the top of the net.
