I thought fence chargers put out several thousand volts? Never heard of checking one with a volt meter. I check with my pliers. If it won't jump a spark it won't keep cows in. And yes, these new fencers MUST be WELL GROUNDED. rusty rebar ain't gonna do it. Rust is a very good insulator. And 4 feet may not be deep enough in dry conditions. If the fencer puts out spark with the fence unhooked then your fence is still grounded somewhere. I like to check with the fencer running. Sometimes the spark will be jumping to ground. With only a half mile wire that thing should throw a blue spark nearly half an inch. That is enough to get any cow's attention.
