If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line, the
clearances shall not be less than those shown in Table BB1.
Table BB1 – Minimum clearances from power lines for electric animal fences
Power line voltage (volts)
≤ 1000v
> 1000v and ≤ 33000v
> 33000v
If connecting leads and electric animal fence wires are installed near an overhead power line,
their height above the ground shall not exceed 3 m. This height applies to either side of the
orthogonal projection of the outermost conductors of the power line on the ground surface, for a
distance of:
• 2 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V.
• 15 m for power lines operating at a nominal voltage exceeding 1 000 V.
Electric animal fences intended for deterring birds, household pet containment or training animals
such as cows need only be supplied from low output energisers to obtain satisfactory and safe
performance.
In electric animal fences intended for deterring birds from roosting on buildings, no electric fence
wire shall be connected to the Energiser Earth Electrode. A warning sign shall be fitted to every
point where persons may gain ready access to the conductors.
Where an electric animal fence crosses a public pathway, a non-electrified gate shall be
incorporated in the electric animal fence at that point or a crossing by means of stiles shall be
provided. At any such crossing, the
adjacent electrified wires shall carry
warning signs.
Any part of an electric animal fence that
is installed along a public road or pathway
shall be identified at frequent intervals by
warning signs securely fastened to the
fence posts or firmly clamped to the fence
wires.
The size of the warning sign shall be at
least 100 mm × 200 mm. The background
colour of both sides of the warning sign
shall be yellow. The inscription on the sign
shall be black and shall be either the
symbol of Figure BB1, or the substance of
"CAUTION: Electric fence".
