Abstract
The field of the invention is electric fencing. The problem to be solved by the invention is restricting the level of shock obtainable from an earth wire return system without limiting the shock available from a ground wire return system in a single energiser. The solution is the incorporation of an additional earth terminal (9) on the energiser which incorporates a protective impedance (10) in series with it. The earth terminal incorporating the protective impedance can be connected to the wire of an earth wire return electric fence system (8), and the other earth terminal (4) connected to a wire from the ground return system (13) of the electric fence installation. This invention provides control of the maximum current through an earth return current path independent of the current through the ground return current path in an electric fence system.

IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS
WE Gallagher Group Limited, a New Zealand company of Kahikatea Drive, ι: Hamilton, New Zealand
hereby declare the invention for which I/We pray that a patent may be granted to me/us, and the method by which it is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement:
IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to improvements in and relating to electric fence systems. Specifically the present invention may provide improvements within electrified agricultural fences where the electric fence installation incorporates an earth return wire commonly used in environments where the ground is dry and has a low conductivity.
BACKGROUND ART
Electrified fences are widely used in agriculture for confining animals within specified areas and from preventing animals from entering specified areas.
Where electric fences are used close to a farm house there is more likely to be human contact with the fence. It is sometimes desirable to reduce the energy available to the electric fence in that area. This is currently achieved by either using a low power output terminal from an electric fence energiser which incorporates a limiting resistor or by placing an external resistor between the high power terminal of the electric fence energiser and the local fence that needs to be energised.
In dry conditions where there is the need for improved earthing such as in Australia there is often used an electric fence installation system called an earth wire return system. In an Earth wire return system some of the wires on the fence are electrified and some of the wires (usually alternate) on the fence are earthed. The earth wire of the fence usually runs all the way back to the ground terminal of the energiser. This provides a low impedance path back for return currents which run back through the earth return wire to the energiser. The earth wire is often grounded at local points along the fence line with earth stakes which are driven into the ground.
When an animal touches both the live fence wire and the earth return wire then the animal will receive a larger shock than in a ground return installation which is the
reason this kind of installation exists. Also when an animal touches the fence and the ground close to a local earth stake the electric current flowing through the animal flows back up the local earth stake along the earth return wire and back to the earth terminal.
In these situations if a person touches both the fence wire and the earth return wire they will receive a larger shock than would ordinarily be felt in a ground return installation due to the low impedance of the earth return wire. Some European countries are concerned at the level of shock available from this kind of installation.
Safety standards are written around a shock received by an animal constituting a 500 ohm load and there is wide acceptance surrounding the safety of a shock at this load.
It has been suggested that a shorter body path which may occur where a person climbs between two wires may result in a lower impedance and therefore higher energy shock for this kind of installation.
If the entire farm using an earth wire return system is powered from a low shock terminal then the level of shock available at long distances from the farm will be inadequate to control farm animals.
Accordingly the present invention addresses this problem or at least offers the public a useful choice.
It would therefore be preferable to have an improved method, system or apparatus which addressed any or all the above problems associated with existing prior art earth wire return electric fence systems. In particular a system, method or apparatus which could provide an alternative current path for shocks between firstly live wire and ground return shocks and secondly live wire and earth return wire shocks would be of advantage.

It is acknowledged that the term 'comprise' may, under varying jurisdictions, be attributed with either an exclusive or an inclusive meaning.

Further aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the ensuing description which is given by way of example only.

an electric fence impulse generator having two or more poles configured to emit electric impulses,
at least three terminals, two or more of which are configured to be connected as earth terminals and one or more of which are configured to be connected as a fence terminal for the attached electric fence system characterised in that the internal or source impedance of the energiser through one of the earth terminals is higher than the impedance of the energiser through the other earth terminal or terminals.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided an electric
fence energiser which includes,
an electric fence impulse generator having two or more poles configured to emit electric impulses

In a further preferred embodiment the protective impedance will be a resistance
This should not be seen as limiting as in alternative embodiments the protective impedance could be an inductance or a capacitance or a non linear component such as a voltage dependent resistor or a diode or a gas discharge tube.
Preferably the protective impedance will be in the range of 50 ohms to 1000 ohms depending on the degree of reduction in energy that is required by connection to the protective impedance powered earth terminal.
In an alternative embodiment the protective impedance powered earth terminal will be connected to a separate winding on the output transformer of the impulse generator.
In a further alternative embodiment the protective impedance terminal will be connected to a tapping of the output transformer of the impulse generator.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided an electric fence energisation system which includes
an electric fence impulse generator having two or more poles configured to emit electric impulses
at least three terminals, two or more of which are configured to be connected as earth terminals and one or more of which are configured to be connected as a fence terminal for the attached electric fence system wherein the impedance back to the impulse generator through one of the earth terminals is higher than the impedance back to the impulse generator from the other earth terminal or terminals.
Characterised in that the earth wire from an earth wire return system is connected to the earth terminal with the protective impedance connected between it and the impulse generator and an earth wire connected to ground stakes in the ground is connected to the earth terminal with a direct connection or lower impedance connection back to one of the poles of the impulse generator.
The configuration of multiple earth terminals provides for alternative return paths for electrical current flowing out through the fence wire through an animal touching the fence and either the ground or a ground return conducting wire or both.
In a further preferred embodiment the impulse generator provided may be formed from an electric fence energiser which includes a transformer with two or more poles to connect to the earth terminals and to the fence terminals however in other embodiments where the impulse generator does not include an output transformer the invention is equally applicable.
In such embodiments the energy storage element provided within a impulse generator may be switched through an energy transfer device such as a transformer or directly onto an electric fence conductor.
The present invention is configured to provide an energisation system for preferably an earth wire return electric fence system .
Also the present invention is configured to provide an energisation system for a combined installation which includes both an earth wire return system and a ground earth return system.
Preferably the impedance connecting the two alternative earth terminals will be a resistance and the value of that resistance will be between 50 and ohms and 1000 ohms.
However these values should not be seen as limiting as the values can be selected based on any requirement of energy limitation combined with the energy delivering capabilities of the impulse generator.
In a further preferred embodiment the impedance may be a capacitor or an inductor that has an effective impedance of between 50 ohms and 1000 ohms when an electric fence electric impulse is applied across it.
In a further preferred embodiment there may be a voltage measuring or current measuring circuit monitoring the voltage across or current through the impedance connected between the two earth terminals.
This allows the energiser to determine whether the current returning from the fence is coming through the earth wire return path or the ground return path. This indicates whether the load is connected between the fence and earth return wire or between the fence and the ground.
The energiser circuitry may signal an alarm or modify the energisers output in response to the differences in the sensed signal. For example the energy available at the output terminals may be reduced for a period of time when the current through the protective impedance increases above a predetermined threshold or above a predetermined current change or maximum current through the protective impedance, this being an indication that an animal has received a shock between the fence wire and the earth return wire. Alternatively the interval between impulses may be increased for a period of time or the impulses may be stopped altogether for a predetermined period of time before normal operation is resumed in response to a change in the abovementioned sensed signal .
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Figures 2 illustrates the current flow for an animal getting a shock through a ground earth return path in an earth wire return system with the connections to the impulse generating device provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention
Figure 3 illustrates the sensing of the current flowing through the protective earth impedance which shows how a load connected between the fence wire and the earth wire return can be monitored and some controlled action taken in response to any change in this monitored load.
BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an electric fence energisation system provided in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The Energiser system shown includes an output impulse generating means 1 which supplies a high voltage impulse between separate poles 2 and 3. Pole 3 is connected to earth terminal 4 and pole 2 is connected to terminal 5. Terminal 5 is connected to an electric fence wire 6, which is insulated from the ground and from electric fence mounting posts 7 by a post mounted insulator (not shown). An earth return wire 8 is shown which returns to be attached to the energiser's second earth terminal 9 and is electrically connected to the second pole (3) of the impulse generating means 3 through a protective impedance 10 .
When an animal 11 touches both the electric fence wire 6 and the earth return wire 8 an electric current flows out of terminal 5 onto the fence wire 6 through the animal 11 and back through the earth return wire 8 back to terminal 9 and through protective impedance 10 back to the second pole 3 of the output impulse generator 1.
The path of the current flow is shown as dotted line 12.
Referring to figure 2, when an animal 11 standing on the ground 14 touches electric fence wire 6 an electric current flows out of one pole 2 of the impulse generator 1 through fence terminal 5 through fence wire 6 and through the animal 11. The electric current flows back through the ground 14 to the earth stake system 13 and back into the Earth terminal 4 and back to the second pole 3 of the impulse generator 1. The current path is shown by the dotted line 12.
In this case the shock the animal receives is limited by characteristics of the impulse generator and further limited by the impedance of the ground, the connection of the animals feet to the ground, the impedance of the ground back to the earth stake system 13 and the contact impedance from the earth stakes to the ground.
The advantage of this invention is that an earth wire return system can be used where the shock received by an animal completing a circuit through the earth wire return system can be limited (but still effective) while not reducing the shock received by an animal where the shock path does not include the earth wire return system but
is through the traditional ground return system.
In a further preferred embodiment of the invention a monitoring circuit monitors the current through or voltage across the protective earth impedance and activates an alarm and or modifies the output of the impulse generator depending on the result of the monitored signal.
Referring to Figure 3 there is shown an animal 11 contacting both the fence wire 6 and the earth return wire 8. The current flows out of the impulse generator 2 and along fence wire 6 through the animal 11 and back through the earth return wire 8 back through Earth wire system connection terminal 9 and through protective earth impedance 10 back to the second pole 3 of the impulse generator 1. Monitoring circuitry 13 monitors either the current through or voltage across protective impedance 10. The monitoring and control circuitry 13 may activate an alarm 14 or modify the output from the impulse generator 1 in response to the detection of an increase in current through or voltage across protective impedance 10 which is indicative of a change in state or load of the fence system when for example an animal becomes entangled and in contact with the fence and earth return wire.
A further advantage of the invention is that when there is a short circuit between the fence and the earth return wire then the output voltage across the two poles of the impulse generator will not fall below the voltage that the impulse generator can sustain across the equivalent value of the protective impedance which is connected between the two earth terminals.
This means there is still a deterrent voltage between the fence wire and the ground or between the earth return wire and the ground.
In this way the shock an animal receives with an earth return wire connection can be limited by the value of the protective impedance 10 while still maintaining an effective
fence when an animal receives a shock where the animal contacts the electric fence wire and the ground.
