wish one of you could fix these chargers~

I've 3 or 4 Fence chargers that need fixed~ I'd have to send them back east to be repaired~with shipping and testing costs it can get up to the cost of a New one.

I don't know enough to fix these with confidence.

Have you tried YouTube? They have a how to fix vid on nearly every brand fence charger out there.

 

[valley ranch]

yep! they don't actually show how to fix one.

I might be able to test the capacitor and transformer but all the resistor and the boards, I just don't know enough, daughter just ordered one~from Horse.com, I think, can't garden here without a hot one. Unless I keep a cat prisoner it the garden enclose.

I have had the same one for about 20 years with no repair. And every so often I forget it's on and yes it works.

I watched a few of these repair vids on chargers and all it seems they do is short out the fence for a matter of minutes. Maybe that resets them in some way and makes them work better?

That's all they seem to do because they're not showing a repair just the arcing of a working charger.

When they stop arcing that's the one you want to see fixed.


all mine are Parmak Chargers, the Parmak on the right side he has there is hitting at over 14, that's sure high enough.

You say you have one of the same kind: A Parmak or a Cyclops?

How many ground rods do you have, how deep. how wet is the ground?
