  • Patent number: 11979969
    Abstract: An electric fence energizer comprising an energy storage capacitor (2), which is able to be discharged into the primary (3) of a step-up transformer, the secondary (4) of which is connected to the electric fence, and comprising an internal electronic control device for controlling the discharge pulses from the capacitor (2) to the electric fence. The capacitor (2) is discharged into a circuit consisting, in series and in the following order, of a first electronic actuator (5), followed by the primary (3) of the transformer, followed by a second electronic actuator (6), the opening and closing of each one of the two electronic actuators (5, 6) being able to be controlled, and each one of said electronic actuators being able, during discharging, to interrupt the discharge pulses from the capacitor (2) into the primary (3) of the transformer, and then to permit said pulses.

  • Patent number: 10736203
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system comprising a remote control (21), a pull-out box (8) comprising an emitting and receiving RF chip (16), a switch (14) controlling the electrical power supply of the energiser (4), and a first electronic circuit (15) for operating the switch (14), exchanging RF signals with the RF chip (16). The system comprises a remote control (20) for reading and emitting signals conducted by the fence wire (2), a galvanic connection (9, 10) to the electric fence, and in the pull-out box, a second electronic circuit (19) for operating the switch (14) in connection with the remote control (20), and means for transforming signals conducted by the wire (2) into RF signals emitted by the RF chip (16).

  • Patent number: 8120212
    Abstract: Method for the control of an electric fence energizer of any given power, guaranteeing that, during each pulse emitted by the energizer, any human body that might have come into contact with the electric fence since a recent pulse does not run the risk of receiving a dangerous electric shock by reason of the pulse in progress.
