s a lot to ask of any coated wire AC or DC, especially in traffic areas =96=

U.S.A. as elsewhere, nobody wins resulting from a substandard initial=

Rick Williams then wrote: =93=85.strongly recommend the use of MOV spike=

Good advice. The American made in-house brand fence energizer I use and=
Elysian =A9 now supplies to customers contains a bank of these MOV devices;=
it supplies 1260 Joules of protection on the power side internal on=
incoming and 4229 Joules of protection on the out going fence side of the=
device.
I hope this helps.
Be safe. Sincerely,
