HIGHVELD · EQUIPMENT CHANGES · FENCE RECORDS

Need an Electric Fence COC in Highveld?

Has other electrical work changed the supply or equipment serving your Highveld electric fence? Include that work when requesting an electric fence COC inspection from Wesslink. A solar, backup-power or distribution-board project and the fence installation need to be considered together where they actually connect.

Do not move the energiser supply, change wiring or bypass a protective device to keep the fence running. Tell Wesslink about the problem and the recent work.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Include the fence when another electrical project affects it.

Give Highveld, Centurion and the full premises address when you enquire, including the office park or complex where applicable. If an electrician has recently changed how the property is supplied, explain whether the fence equipment was moved or reconnected. Keep the project records available rather than relying on a general assurance that everything was included.

01

The fence stopped working after a supply change

Report the observed sequence and any message on the equipment without testing the wires. Provide the earlier work description. Wesslink can discuss investigating the fence and its supply; the sequence alone does not identify a failed energiser or prove which contractor is responsible.

02

An energiser was moved during renovations

Give its previous and current locations and describe why it was moved. Mention any new cable route or enclosure you know about. The inspection should consider the resulting installation, including access for maintenance, rather than simply confirm that the equipment switches on.

03

A buyer receives several electrical documents

Keep the documents separate and check what each describes. Ask specifically for the fence record where a fence installation is involved. A certificate for other electrical work should not be presented as evidence that the electric fence itself was inspected and certified.

Ask what was included in the electrical work.

Before a planned project begins, tell the electrician and fence contractor about equipment affected by the proposal. Agree who will reconnect or relocate it, who will investigate any resulting fault and what completion records will be supplied. This is particularly helpful where separate companies are working to different quotations at the same premises.

Wesslink can discuss electric fence repairs to the existing arrangement and electric fence installation when a replacement or approved new layout is proposed. Obtain applicable owner, complex or estate approval before changing the boundary installation. Keep the fence assessment distinct from a quotation for unrelated electrical upgrades so each item has a clear purpose.

INSPECTION & TESTING

What does an electric fence COC inspection cover?

A working energiser is one part of the system. The inspection also considers the fence installation, its safety provisions and the test results.

An electric fence certificate follows inspection and testing by a registered person. Defects affecting compliance must be corrected before certification. Read Regulations 12–13 ↗

    The energiser and fence circuit

    Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.

  2. 02

    Earthing and physical condition

    Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.

  3. 03

    Warning signs and accessible areas

    Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.

  4. 04

    Testing, corrections and certification

    Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS

Get a quote for the fence you actually have.

Describe the fence issue and the other electrical project when asking for a price. The attendance may need access to the energiser and relevant supply equipment, with the responsible electrician’s records available. Ask which investigation is included, what needs separate authorisation and whether a return inspection is required after another contractor completes their work.

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Is your electric fence alarming after backup-power work?

Record the alert wording and when it occurs, then contact Wesslink. Electric fence fault finding can examine the relevant installation. Do not change supply connections or repeatedly interrupt power to recreate the problem.

Which documents should I send after supply work?

Provide the earlier fence record and the recent work description. Ask what assessment is needed for an electric fence compliance certificate for the resulting installation.

Can the energiser be relocated to a more convenient room?

Discuss the proposed position before moving it. The installation, supply, maintenance access and any applicable approvals need assessment; convenience alone is not enough to choose the location.

Should I buy a replacement energiser before an inspection?

Describe the symptoms and existing equipment first. A quotation based on the findings can distinguish a repair from replacement instead of committing to a part that may not resolve the problem.

When should the final fence document be arranged?

Discuss the sequence before related work starts. An electric fence certificate of compliance depends on the required inspection and tests of the completed installation, with any identified corrections addressed.

Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?

A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.

Will the inspection fee include repairs?

Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
