Bi-Polar Tape 1640ft/500m (#BP1640)

Description

The tape is electrified, similar to the well known farmers’ ‘hot wire’ but in contrast with the
thin ‘hot wire’, the tape is large and visible by horses. The electric fence tape is powered
by a fence charger,which produces constant current pulses.

Classique                                    Bi-Polaire

The tape connected to the (+) of the charger is the positive line. The ground rod connected to the (-) of the charger and driven into the humidity of the earth is the negative line.

The top green edge connected to the (+) of the charger is the positive line. The bottom brown edge connected directly to the (-) of the charger is the negative line. There is no need for a ground rod and the humidity of the earth.

For the Bi-Polar fence tape you don’t need a ground rod even with a sandy, snowy or rocky
soil (bad conductors) because we have put the two lines plus (+) and minus (-) on the
same tape and the fence will work whatever the ground conditions are!

In both cases when the horse touches the tape he connects himself for a fraction of a second!
Thereafter when the fence is electrified, after that painful (but harmless) experience the
horse will remember and respect that barrier!

What is HorseGuard Bi-Polar tape made of?

10 stainless steel wires diam. 0.016 inch (0.40 mm), 30% thicker than the competitors, 29 totally UV resistant polyethylene threads diam. 0.02 inch (0.50 mm), 2 stout bumpers diam. 0.032 inch (0.80 mm). Both have the combination of wires interwoven into the top and bottom bumpers at the tape edges : this combination has been added to provide cut protection and prevent elongation, making it a stiffer tape (not flimsy like bad copies) increasing strength, effectiveness and protecting against wear.
