Encyclopedic overview
Charger for a plus-minus net fence An electric fence is a barrier that uses electric shocks to deter humans and animals from crossing a boundary. Most electric fences are used for agricultural purposes and other non-human animal control. They are also commonly used to protect high-security areas such as military installations or prisons, where a potentially lethal voltage may be applied. Virtual electric fences for livestock using GPS technology have also been developed.
