Crutschow I'm looking for a super simple basic 12v fence charger. Could you please point me in the right direction. ThanksHere's my take on a simple, low-power fencer using a ignition coil for the output.
The CD4093 Schmitt trigger gates are configured as a 1Hz PWM relaxation oscillator set for a low duty-cycle
POT U5 adjusts the pulse-width which affects the stored inductive energy and thus the output voltage as determined by the fence wire load capacitance.
The coil primary peak voltage is limited by zener D4 to 100V, giving a maximum output voltage of 10kV from a standard 100:1 ignition coil.
The LTspice simulation shows that the average current drawn will vary from about 0.1Ah to 1Ah per day, depending upon the setting of U5.
