Wall top fencing works well to secure houses; as a first line of defence.

A combi fence can be added to any existing fence or even the inside of a vibracrete  wall as well as an extension above.

Standard requirements for the instillation of electric fencing in South Africa

The Africa Electric TeamShaun Koen, the founder of AFRICA ELECTRIC FENCING AND AUTOMATION started in electric fencing in 1996. He started installing & maintaining electric fencing with his brother in Tanzania where they installed electric fencing around farms to keep the wild animals off it.  He also installed security fences around the farm houses. In 1997 he returned to South Africa where he then started Africa Electric Fencing And Automation.
Africa Electric was established to fill a gap in the market for the installation of high quality electric fencing, garage/gate automation Gsm Communicators and much more. The drive has always been to strive for exceptional quality at competitive prices.
Since inception of Africa Electric they have successfully fitted hundreds of electric fences to many highly satisfied customers. They fit sliding and swing gate automation as well as the automation of garage door and striker locks on security gates. Apart from doing installation they also offer maintenance contracts and carry out repairs to existing fences and automation.
The CEO of Africa Electric Shaun Koen says “We at Africa Electric install only high quality products from high quality installers such as Stafix Electric Fence Products and Centurion Automation Products”.
VISIONTo be the preferred supplier of high grade installations with the following core principles:• Training and education on an ongoing basis• Continually improving our service and performance through individual and team initiative• Working in close co-operation, with a spirit of trust.
POLICYOur policy is “doing it right the first time”. This means fewer problems for the customer and ultimately less upkeep or additional expenses after the electric fence has been installed. A quality check is done after each successful instillation.

These fences are ideal like this one in a farm around the water tank and house to secure the property.

Edmond Installing Our Warning Signs

Africa Electric Fencing is registered in
accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and therefore hereby
legally certified to issue Certificates of Compliances (COC) for electric fences.

As far as the Govt Gazette of 25 March is concerned, what is of interest to us is a paragraph at the bottom of page 14:  “The seller, importer and manufacturer of an electric fence energizer shall prove compliance with SANS 60335-2-76 by producing a certificate issued by an accredited test laboratory recognized by the accreditation authority”. It is no longer permissible for a manufacturer of an energiser just to state on the packaging that the unit has been manufactured to comply with the SANS standard!  Manufacturers must be able to produce a certificate to PROVE this.   Since 25 March it is illegal to install uncertified energizers.   You will no doubt take heart and be proud of the fact that the entire JVA Z-Range of energizers are all certified and you may ask us for the certificates to show your clients should they ask for them.  Many other energizer manufacturers are now scrambling to play “catch-up”.

WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT AFRICA ELECTRIC FENCING AND AUTOMATION ONLY INSTALL ENERGIZERS WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE. THIS ENERGIZER IS THE JVA RANGE OF ENERGIZERS.

SECURITY ENERGIZERS

We at AFRICA ELECTRIC are proud to say that we only use SABS and International safety grade energizers like the JVA or STAFIX range of energizers.

Z-RANGE
The imported JVA Z-Range of energisers is designed to be the best affordable high-feature security energiser in the world. It was built and designed as a product of over 30 years of electric fence experience earned in the most testing international environments. The unit has a unique LCD voltage display so that the fence output and return voltages can be seen clearly.
The unit can be operated by key-switch or by the optional LCD keypad.

WHAT IS BI-POLAR FENCING?
The new JVA Z14A Electric Fence Security Energisers can be operated in bi-polar mode. This gives rise to the questions: What is bi-polar and what exactly are the benefits of this wiring configuration?
A bi-polar fence is an all-live wire fence. A bi-polar energiser has the ability to pulse synchronized positive and negative pulses down alternative wires of the same fence line. So, instead of having alternative live and earth wires on the fence line, one now has one wire with a positive pulse and one wire with a negative pulse. This means that all the wires on the security fence are live (with the exception of one true earth wire in the fence grid).
A reading taken between the positive pulsing or negative pulsing live wires and the true earth, will give half the voltage of a normal live earth configuration. However, when one touches both the positive and negative pulsing wires, one will receive the ‘full Monty’. The big plus factor of this configuration is that, by reducing the voltages to each wire, one eliminates the annoying and often difficult-to-eliminate arcing experienced in coastal or dusty areas.
