I would love to modify my devide to have a higher frequency. My cat learned to dash through the fence between ticks 😅 Do you see any chance this is possible? If it means less Energy per tick, that's fine.
No unfortunately they're basically stuck at what they are. You could try and some more strands to take up the space where the cat has to work a little harder to get through.
Interesting video. I never thought of increasing the capacitance like that, but I suppose it's pretty obvious if I actually thought about it. I just ordered a replacement output transformer for my JVA (Pakton) 1.5J energiser. The new part is up-rated from the original as they found them to fail a bit too much. The same transformer is used in JVA and Daken energisers from 1J to 5J. Makes me wonder if the circuits are the same in the larger units.
There's probably some differences in them besides bigger or more capacitors. Some brands have capacitors built onto the boards as part of their multiplier circuit to build the power up to the main discharge capacitor. Some boards also have transformers built onto the board that increase the power up before it gets to the main discharge capacitor as well. So there's likely more to it on those, but you would have to look up the parts list and see if the same board is used in multiple units.
The board on my Zareba 100 fence charge burnt up, possible lighting strike. I can't find the 6 joules board, but can find the 15 joules board, as both appear identical. What harm can be done by putting the 15 joules board on it ?
They're not the same board 100% The secondary board in the 200 Mile units doesn't have all the timing components that the 100 Mile does, so installing the 200 Mile board it won't pulse or do anything.
@@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity thanks. I ended up taking it to a repair shop near me. The guy is going to use the box and is going to replace the internals with parts that are higher quality.
I thought u jusf read the output at 1.3kv and then you said they only run at 600vdc.. what part steps it up to the 1.3kv? The transformer couldnt be whats stepping it up.. is there a high frequency output or is it a voltage multiplier : doubler circuit?
There is a multiplier circuit on this particular unit with the smaller red Capacitors that gradually build the voltage up to around 500-600vdc higher amps over to the main big Capacitor. Then when the unit is triggered, it fires that 500-600vdc from the big cap to the transformer and it takes that voltage bumps it up to a higher kv, but lower amps and then spits it over the the fence and ground terminals. That's how all low impedance electric fence chargers work. Some have a multiplier circuit that gradually increases the voltage, and some will have a small transformer that bumps the voltage up that feeds over to a big pulse grade capacitor. The voltage going across the big Capacitor in different units does vary from brand, model, and size of unit.
No unfortunately not on that unit. They're set up pretty much as they are. If you made it much stronger, you would likely either burn up the transformer inside prematurely or need a bigger solar panel to keep up with the extra draw. Those have a feedback wire that are used for calibration on the needle gauge, so that would likely be messed up as well.
Possibly, but you just have to make sure the transformer can handle that kind of power. If you over power the transformer, it might work and show good for a little while, but you'll eventually burn it out and ruin the transformer.
The one I think in this video was junk and it didn't last and you can't fix it. A joule meter for testing electric fence units isn't something that's readily available. We have a newer one that we bought from a retired repair place and he said back when he bought it years and years ago, it was $600+ from the manufacturer.
I only need to discourage bears from destroying my bird seed storage barrel. So, I got a Home Depot point 2 joule (0.2 J) and am thinking it's not enough. I lost a lot of money last year, my 1st year. I'm OK with feeding wildlife but that got old in one short night. What's the best advice for me? Spending $500 is not what I want to hear. Thanks.
You could use a digital electric fence fault finder. Then test it with different loads across it, 10 watt resistors and then start with 1,000 ohms and gradually go down to around 250 ohms and get a few sizes in between. With the fault finder, it will show you the amps it's delivering out of it. As you increase the load closer to zero across the terminals the amps will climb up. At a certain point when the unit it stressed out enough or beyond is capabilities, the amps will go down after they go up because it can't handle the load you connected. I would go to where the kv reading across the unit is around 3.8kv and no lower and see what the amps are. The amps will vary from the joule rating of the particular unit has. The higher joule rating it the higher the amps can climb.
This video is from October 2020 and the phone I had back then had something happen to the microphone and that's why it sounded weird. Most of the videos before this one and ones afterwards definitely have better quality audio. Just a bad microphone on my phone
Fantastic!!! You really know your stuff.

@@FencerFixerRepairLLCKansasCity thank you for your quick reply!
I will do that then.
I am sure he will learn eventually 🤣

Good job Bro .how many max amps limit in output shock.reply me..
I'm not sure on that, it honestly depends on what the transformer can handle

Sounds good
Any idea if using a 6uf instead of 3uf will kill their m50 energiser? Think its busted but can only find 6uf ones.
Is it the large main one that plugs onto the board? Email me a picture of it at fencerfixer816@gmail.com
I like this video.

Great video! Can you do this with a ParMak MAG 12 SP? I'd love to see that 😂
No unfortunately not on that unit. They're set up pretty much as they are. If you made it much stronger, you would likely either burn up the transformer inside prematurely or need a bigger solar panel to keep up with the extra draw. Those have a feedback wire that are used for calibration on the needle gauge, so that would likely be messed up as well.
If you didn’t care about it fitting back into the casing could you just get a small energizer and swap parts till it’s pumping out 6-9 joules?
Possibly, but you just have to make sure the transformer can handle that kind of power. If you over power the transformer, it might work and show good for a little while, but you'll eventually burn it out and ruin the transformer.
were do i find one of them testers to test joules

How to find energy without using equipment I have no equipment
Plz help🙏

Thank you very much sir, can you explain a little more
the audio is terrible Can't make out most of the audio

Closed caption is good. And I can hear it pretty well on my phone
