What factors should I consider when purchasing a fence charger?
Question by: Kathryn Tator on Oct 22, 2020, 12:56 PM
The power source (AC, Battery or Solar Powered), energy output (in joules), the type of animal being controlled, the length of the fence (more wires need more power) and the amount of vegetation growing near the fence should be considered when you are selecting your fence charger.

What does Low Impedance mean? I see it on chargers in stores and on websites.
Question by: Kathryn Tator on Oct 22, 2020, 12:59 PM
Low impedance chargers increase the joules (energy) on a fence line if weeds or other vegetation touch the fence. Low impedance chargers are ideal for long, multi-strand poly wire, tape, rope or high tensile fence systems. Low impedance chargers are recommended for most applications and can be operated by AC, DC or Solar Power.
The other type of charger, known as a solid state charger, is usually used to control short-haired livestock, small animals, and pets where only moderate weed conditions exist. These chargers deliver a medium-amperage shock and can be operated by AC or DC.

Why does my fence charger make clicking noises?
Question by: Kathryn Tator on Oct 22, 2020, 1:02 PM
Most fence chargers have a pulsed output. Every time it “clicks,” it is releasing energy to the fence that has been stepped up or increased through a capacitor and a transformer. This release of energy makes noise. Not all chargers make the clicking noise. The noise is designed for the owner of the charger and serves no functional purpose.

We have the 100 mile fencer. Was bought in the mid 2000’s. Was wondering if it you ever rebuilt fencers?

We have installed our charger. It clicks about once a second. We have verify that the wire good.
What else could make the box click?

Thank you very much for contacting us.
Some chargers do make a clicking sound about once per second — this is completely normal. However, it’s also normal if the charger does not click, or if the sound changes over time. The presence or absence of the clicking sound is not a reliable indicator of whether the charger is functioning properly.
To confirm that your charger is working, we recommend performing a no-load test using a fence tester.
It would be our pleasure to assist you further if you need help with the test or interpreting the results.

How many amps does this 100 mile fencer/charger draw ? Its Model: EAC100M-Z ?
Question by: Scott McElroy on Oct 12, 2025, 3:42 PM
All AC-powered chargers, including model EAC100M-Z, have an amp draw of less than one amp.

I went to plug it in and it clicked twice and then it stopped. I tested to see if there is a charge and there is nothing. Is there a fuse inside that resets itself or I’m wondering if the ground is not right.
Question by: Aaron Shinedling on Mar 31, 2026, 12:35 AM
The clicking you heard is normal when the charger first powers on, but if it stops and there is no output, it usually points to a setup or connection issue rather than a resettable fuse.
This model does not have a resettable fuse. The most common causes are:
Grounding issue – the charger needs a proper ground system (at least 3 ground rods spaced apart) to work correctly
Wiring/connection issue – loose or incorrect connections can stop output
Power source issue – confirm the outlet is supplying power
A quick check is to disconnect the fence and ground wires, plug the unit in, and test the output directly. If there is still no voltage, the unit may need further assistance.
If the issue continues after these checks, please contact Zareba® support so they can help further.
