Lightning Diverter
A Kiwi Lightning Diverter is designed to help protect electric fence energizers and fence systems from lightning-related damage. Installed on the fence line, it intercepts high-voltage surges caused by lightning strikes and redirects the electrical energy safely into the ground before it can reach the energizer.
Key Features:
Lightning Surge Protection: Diverts lightning strikes away from the fence energizer to reduce damage risk.
Energizer Protection: Helps protect fence chargers, controllers, and connected fence systems from electrical surges.
Adjustable Spark Gap: Adjustable point gap allows compatibility with different energizer outputs.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Designed to withstand repeated lightning strikes and harsh outdoor environments.
Easy Installation: Mounts directly to a fence post and connects between the fence and grounding system.
Universal Compatibility: Suitable for most electric fence energizers and fencing systems.
Common Applications:
Livestock Fencing: Protection for cattle, horse, sheep, and goat electric fence systems
Agricultural Fencing: Permanent pasture and rotational grazing systems
Perimeter Security: Electric security fence installations
Remote Fence Systems: Long fence runs in lightning-prone areas
Installation Recommendation:
For best protection, lightning diverters should be installed on the fence line a minimum distance away from the energizer and connected to a dedicated grounding system.
Reliable and essential for electric fence systems, Kiwi-style lightning diverters help reduce costly energizer damage and improve long-term fence protection during electrical storms.
