A mounting arrangement for mounting exposed filamentary electrical conductors on fences intended for conversion to electrified fences. The arrangement provides fence engaging panels for mounting, which panels include electrical contacts. The panels may include posts having grooves for tying a filamentary conductor to the panel independently of connection to an electrical contact. The panels may be fastened by fasteners which resemble ratchet action cable ties, and which are formed integrally with the collars. Holes are formed in the panels to accept fasteners such as screws. Collars may be arcuate members, planar panel members, or may comprise a plurality of planar panels hinged to one another. Collars and associated contacts may be installed in numbers and mounting arrangements assuring two pole break for each otherwise energized conductors where those conductors span a gate, thereby fully de-energizing the gate automatically when opened, and automatically re-establishing electrical continuity when the gate is closed. |
