I read something in an add for electric fence terminators that didn't seem completely accurate and I am hoping to get a peer reviewed check before I spend the extra cash.
I have a dc electric fence charger for my polywire fence that is set-up with an earth return/ground system. Are there significant voltage losses associated with splicing or using a knot to join (or terminate) wire compared to using a connector designed for such purpose? I understand that the knots/splices decrease the strength of wire, but I did not think that they significantly contributed to voltage loss or to current drain.
Thanks for any insights.
