What sort of a fence have you got? The one we have requires the actual
unit in its metal box to be grounded, the high voltage wire is on
insulators throughout and must on no account be grounded other than
when an animal touches it, thus completing a path to ground through
its body, hence the (non-lethal) electric shock.
Please check your instructions.
