Hello all
I was wondering if one could make a simple electric fence to keep out animals by using AC from the mains (220V 50 Hz) and simply adding a resistor and a capacitor in series, as shown in the attached circuit. Where the switch is I would have two wires along the fence and the animal would close the circuit.
I was wondering if just having a capacitor to limit the power, but allowing 220V through to the fence would do the job. It looks OK to me, but one does not know what one does not know.
Thanks to all in advance
