Overview

SIST EN 60335-2-76:2005/kFprAE:2014 is a European standard focusing on the safety requirements for electric fence energizers, classified under household and similar electrical appliances. This standard provides particular requirements aimed at ensuring the safe design, construction, and operation of electric fence energizers used in agricultural and livestock environments. It is part of the EN 60335 series, which addresses safety standards for household electrical devices.

Developed by CLC/TC 61, the standard covers amendments and revisions that incorporate practical safety measures-especially for advanced energizers like time-delayed and cascading intelligent electric fence energizers. It aims to protect users from electrical hazards and ensure reliable functionality within safety limits.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Tailored for electric fence energizers used in households and similar settings, notably agricultural installations and livestock buildings.
• Time-Delayed Electric Fence Energizers:
  • Defined delay time between 60 to 75 seconds for pulse emissions.
  • Special warnings in instruction manuals to inform users about immediate fence inspections in case of alarms, as humans or animals may become entangled.
  • Electrical characteristics specify limits on peak current and resistance values.
• Cascading Intelligent Electric Fence Energizers:
  • Introduction of measurement terminals to monitor neighboring fences without supplying impulses.
  • Requirements for high voltage insulated connecting leads to avoid electrical accidents.
  • Safety provisions to ensure no simultaneous contact with independent fences.
  • Construction requirements mandate distinct terminal design and location.
  • Automatic shutdown of an energizer if abnormal pulses are detected on output terminals, to prevent risks from cascading faults.
• Electrical Tests and Safety:
  • High voltage tests (up to 10,000 V or 20,000 V) ensure terminal insulation strength.
  • Verification procedures include checking insulation breakdown, voltage monitoring between terminals, and fault condition detection.
• Marking and Instructions:
  • Clear labeling on devices and explicit instruction warnings are mandatory, especially for specialized energizer types.
  • Instructions emphasize safety practices and technical constraints, ensuring user awareness of risks.

Applications

• Agriculture & Livestock Management: Electric fence energizers conforming to this standard are critical in controlling animal movement and protecting property in farming environments.
• Residential and Commercial Properties: Utilized to secure gardens, private land, and comparable premises requiring electric perimeter fencing.
• Animal Control Systems: Facilitates humane animal containment systems with safety features to minimize accidental injury.
• Integrated Security Setups: Cascading intelligent energizers enable monitoring of multiple fence sections for advanced security automation.

By adhering to these safety requirements, manufacturers can produce energizers that meet rigorous European safety regulations, providing peace of mind for end-users and reducing liability risks.

• EN 60335-1: General safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances.
• EN 60335-2 series: Particular requirements for various types of electrical household appliances.
• EN 61032: Protective provisions for access to live parts, referenced for compliance testing.
• EN 60335-2-76:2005/A2:2015: Updated integrated amendment consolidating previous corrections and clarifications.
• IEC Standards for Livestock Equipment: Cover broader requirements applicable to electric fencing and similar agricultural electrical systems.
