AKO Electric Fence Lightning Protection Unit for Mobile Battery Devices

AKO Lightning Protection – reliable surge protection for your electric fence

A lightning strike on your fence line can destroy your electric fence energiser within seconds. The AKO lightning protection unit shields your fence energiser from surges caused by lightning strikes on the fence system, keeping your pasture fence running safely.

A fixed spark gap channels the surge coming from the fence system straight into the ground rather than letting it reach the unit. Fitting is straightforward on the fence post using screws or nails, and it can also be added to an existing fence system. It's suitable for mobile battery-powered energisers too.
