Insulators
- Insulate electrical energy in the pasture fence
- Prevent voltage from being discharged into the ground and the fence from losing power
- Keep the conductor material at the desired height

What are electric fence insulators?
When building an electric pasture fence, the current must be insulated and safely conducted through the fence system. Insulators separate current-carrying conductor material such as , , or fence from . This prevents electrical energy from being inadvertently discharged from the fence into the ground.
Insulators ensure the correct voltage of the conductor material. The conductor material therefore remains at the desired height and does not sag. A stable and tight pasture fence is important to prevent your animal from running away. It also makes it more difficult for wild animals to get in. In order to be able to work with different conductor materials, insulators are divided into , and .
4 questions to find the right insulator for your electric fence
1. which insulator is suitable for your conductor material?
Due to their shape, ring insulators can be used for , as well as narrow ones. Strip insulators are used for and are designed to insulate and guide narrow ropes and wires.
2. how does your electric fence become particularly stable?
Robust insulators contribute to the overall stability of your electric fence. Insulators with a continuous support, for example, are suitable for more robust guidance of the conductor material. Here, the metal part is embedded in the plastic holder of the insulator. In contrast to screw-in insulators, and are screwed into the fence post at the top and bottom ends of the insulator. This double screw connection also contributes to the stability of the insulator.
3. which insulator do you need for the corners of the fence?
Insulators are needed to guide the conductor material in the required direction. These can withstand the high tensile forces at the corners.
4. how do you prevent your animal from nibbling on the insulator?
Some animals (e.g. horses) particularly like to nibble on the wooden posts. To prevent your fence from being damaged, you can use. With their long handle, these insulators hold the conductor material at a greater distance from the pasture post. If your animal should now mess with the post, the insulator and the conductor material will not be damaged.
