Gallagher recommends all permanent Energizers be fitted with a lightning diverter to help protect from lightning damage.
The Lightning Diverter has two terminals for attaching wires and leads from each terminal that are set with a wide enough gap to prevent the normal energizer voltage flow from arcing across, but close enough to allow a lightning voltage spike to jump easily across and pass to ground.
Did you know if lightning strikes your electric fence it can damage your energizer which may stop your fence from working?
You can avoid this by installing a Gallagher Lightning Diverter.
If lightning strikes your fence it will be diverted to your earth system, protecting your energizer from damage, keeping your animals safe and where they should be.
Check out this video to see just how simple it is to install.
