scope:

This Standard applies to electric fence controllers intended for use in accordance with the Rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, on circuits having a nominal voltage of 120 V or less.

These requirements cover indoor and outdoor types of electric fence controllers that utilize either peak-discharge or timed-sinusoidal circuits to obtain the high voltage necessary to perform their intended function.

These requirements do not cover electric fence controllers of a continuous (uninterrupted) current type, electric fly screen, insect traps, or similar equipment; nor do they cover intermediate equipment such as converters, rectifiers, etc.

Requirements for battery-powered fence controllers are specified in Clause 7 of this Standard.

Requirements for double insulated electric fence controllers are specified in Clause 8 of this Standard.
