Smart Electric Fence Energiser with Safety Limits and Fault Alerts

Approx. component budget: Rs. 5,000 - 9,000

Objective

Make a safe fence energiser that limits energy per pulse and reports faults.

What you will build

A battery-powered pulse energiser for a low-power animal-deterrent fence, with a limited pulse energy, fence-voltage monitoring and an alert when the fence is shorted or cut.

Results you can expect

• Pulse energy in joules vs a safe limit
• Fence voltage vs load or leakage
• Fault detection time
• And battery life in days

What you will learn

High-voltage pulse circuits, energy limits, safety standards and fault monitoring.

Tools and notes

Pulse transformer and capacitor circuit, ESP32, voltage divider, battery. Pulse energy must stay within the legal and safety limit for animal fences; use proper insulation and a warning label, and never test on people or animals.

Resume points from this project

• Built and tested Smart Electric Fence Energiser with Safety Limits and Fault Alerts; objective: make a safe fence energiser that limits energy per pulse and reports faults.
• Measured and analysed pulse energy in joules vs a safe limit and fence voltage vs load or leakage; wrote the report and presented the results in a viva. Add your own numbers: [x].

Replace [x] with your own measured results. Write only what you really did.
