* "operate" means to maintain 1500 to 2500v on dry cattle fence and 2000 to 3000v on 1/3 as much dry sheep, hog, or wildlife fence in areas with about 40 inches (100 cm) annual rainfall and without ground wires; "wire" means 14 1/2 gage (1.6 mm) or larger.
* "Guaranteed To Go The Distance" means a charger will perform as specified herein, if the charger is installed correctly, or the energizer will be replaced or it's sale price will be refunded by the seller upon its return.

MAXIM™ Line-Operated 110 Volt Energizers Selection Guide

The M 3-30 is popular for many high power uses but with the lower cost of medium power chargers. It will operate long lengths of cattle or horse fence in vegetation and moderate lengths of sheep, goat, and wildlife fence.
C103 M 3-30: $199.00

The Dual X100 is a unique electric fence energizer that can be operated with a 12 volt battery or plugged in to a 110 volt receptacle or extension cord. It will power five electric fence nets with average vegetation loads, eight electric nets with no vegetation, and up to about 10 miles of well insulated wire or nearly 1 mile of overgrown fence for horses or cattle (up to 1/3 mile for sheep & goats).

This fence charger can be hung on a post or wall, comes with portable fence and ground rod leads and 12 volt battery leads, all with alligator clips, and with a 110 volt plug-in adaptor. The X100 has a two year warranty, including lightning damage.

DIGITAL POWER TECHNOLOGY For Lower Cost & Longer Life

All MAXIM™ brand fence energizers (chargers & controllers) are made in America ( except the B 6 Portable and Dual X100 which are made in England) and use modern digital power technology with a special integrated circuit chip to develop and control the pulse. Instead of the conventional analog type voltage doublers with rows of capacitors, MAXIM™ fence chargers switch alternating current off and on many many times per second through a transformer. Less heat is produced, fewer components are needed, and more exact control is possible. All this leads to more power, lower cost, and longer life.

In addition, MAXIM™ high voltage output transformers are designed to provide the maximum power on the fence when it is needed, that is, at heavy load conditions. That's why MAXIM™ fence energizers operate long lengths of fence with heavy vegetation loads and still shock with enough power.

Automatic Reset Circuit

The MAXIM™ line-operated plug-in fencers (except the X100) are equipped with a safety shutdown feature to control overpulsing and with an automatic reset circuit to restart the energizer. The safety feature is intended to stop operation if the charger should begin to pulse very rapidly. Some "high frequency" interference such as large sparks and lightning, especially on high voltage power lines, can also trigger the shutdown feature. Unlike non-digital control fence chargers, the MAXIM shutdown is automatically reset by a special circuit built into the energizers so they require less service and have less downtime.

More Power For The Money™

Best of all MAXIM™ fence energizers just cost less, a lot less. Tests conducted at the facilities of major agricultural universities in the United States have shown that the cost per mile of overgrown fence that can be operated on each unit is much lower, in fact, 20 to 50 percent lower, depending on energizer brand and charger model.

Backed By Thirty Years
