Gallagher Galvanised Earth Stake 1.7 m + Clamp Electric Fencing

The Gallagher galvanised earth stake is designed for pasture fencing to function effectively as part of an earthing system. It is used together with clamps to connect the earth cable to the stake. Using galvanised components is recommended for better conductivity and longevity. The length of earth stakes needed varies with the type of energiser: battery-powered units require a shorter stake, while mains-powered and high-power mains units require longer stakes. Proper earthing improves the performance of your energiser by ensuring a good return path.

Key features

• Essential for proper pasture fencing operation
• Use galvanised earth stakes and clamps
• Correct length varies by unit: 0.5–2 m
• Battery energisers: 1 m stake with clamp
• Mains energisers: 1.7 m stake with clamp
• Dry-cell units: 0.5 m stake with 3 m wire

Technical specifications

• Damp soil preferred for best conductivity
• Maintain ~3 m spacing between stakes
• Stainless steel stakes recommended to reduce rust insulation

Safety and installation tips: install in damp soil for optimal conductivity, maintain about 3 m between stakes, and use galvanised or stainless steel components to prevent rust which can insulate and reduce return voltage.
