Patriot PMX200 fence charger (110v)

Details

The PMX200 sits in the middle of the Patriot mains range and suits a mixed operation with real fence to keep hot. Patriot rates it at 3.0 stored joules, 2.0 joules of output, up to 50 miles of wire or 165 acres. Mileage and acreage do not scale together across the range, so compare whichever figure matches how your place is actually laid out. Two joules of output is roughly where a fence starts holding stock that have decided otherwise. Weaned calves testing a cross fence, a bull that has caught wind of cattle across the road, horses that have learned a weak fence tickles rather than bites. It also leaves headroom to add a strand or another paddock later without buying a second energizer. Like every mains unit it needs a 110V outlet and a sheltered spot, and it needs a serious ground field to deliver what the label says. Vegetation lying on the wire and one shallow rod are the two things that quietly turn a two joule fence into a half joule fence. Three-year warranty including lightning.
