Abstract
Animals create problems for farmers in their fields. By using electric fences farmers can
protect their fields, farmhouses, farmlands from animals. These control the animals by giving
them a short, sharp but safe shock that teaches them to stay away from the fence. Thus
electric fences are economical and practical solutions to maximize field production through
controlled grazing. Electric fencing is safe, as its output is discrete. There is certain time
duration between two pulses that prevents prolonged shocking to animals or people. In
addition, the short ‘on’-time prevents heat build-up. This project works on stable
multivibrator principle. A free running oscillator is designed to generate square wave and the
output is given to push-pull amplifier. This square wave is stepped up to high voltage level
and can be connected to the fence

INTRODUCTION
India is a farmer's country. The economy
of India is mainly depends on farming. But
the farmers have many problems for them
there should be some solution for their
problems. Destroying crops by animals is a
major problem that farmers face. They use
fencing around their farms, do cowboy job
but these methods requires a lot hard work
and manpower. Electric fences can be used
to protect farmhouses, farmlands, forest
bungalows, etc. from animals. In a way,
these simulate the job of a cowboy or
forest guard. Electric fences are already
popular in countries where manpower is
expensive electric fences are slowly
becoming popular in India as well. These
control the animals by giving them a short,
sharp but safe shock that teaches them to
stay away from the fence. Thus electric
fences are economical and practical
solutions to maximize field production
through controlled grazing. Electric
fencing is safe, as its output is discrete (not
continuous). There is certain time duration
between two pulses that prevents
prolonged shocking to animals or people.
The availability of electricity is also a
major problem. To solve the problem of
electricity we can use the sun means solar
energy. Empower the fence corralling your
dairy cows or meat cows and spare
electrical expenses with our complete line
of Solar Powered models. Much the same
as our module models, the Power Wizard
Ultra low impedance, solar powered
electric fence chargers convey shock
power per second to your dairy bovines or
hamburger cows. The Power Wizard Solar
controlled models are accessible for farms,
hobby farms or cattle ranches from one
acre to 100 acres.

Solar photovoltaic power is put away in a
battery through charge controller. Battery
controls a MOSFET based Inverter that
develops 50 Hz 220 V. AC is then
