Kube 4000 Energizer
(47) Read reviews »
Product Details
The Kube 4000 plug-in unit is economic and wide-impedance. That means it produces unusually high pulse outputs in fences over dry soils. It performs better than standard low-impedance units during dry/snowy seasons and on fences for deer, poultry and goats.
It's proven, over the past 5 years, to offer reliability and excellent value.

Miscellaneous
- Requires a grounding system. Inadequate grounding is the most common failure in an electric fence system. We recommend 6 ft. of grounding for this energizer, included in the kit.

- Impedance type: wide – pulse type
- Input: AC only
- 6' cord
- Modular. Very easy to repair.
Benefits
Installation
- Connect insulated cable (stripped back 1 - 2" on ends) to the fence terminal on energizer, run the cable to the fence line and connect.
- Then run a second length of cable from the ground terminal (with ends stripped again) on the energizer to the ground rod.
- Secure to ground rod with a clamp.
- Plug the energizer directly into an outlet and test fence. Do not use an extension cord as it may cause a decrease in voltage and expose the unit to the elements.
- Unit indicator light should flash and a tic-tac sound will be heard. If the indicator light doesn't flash, then the unit should be serviced.
Precautions
To Reduce Risk & Liability
- Never place your head or upper spine near an electrified wire. Accidental head or neck contact can occur when pushing a voltage probe into the soil. Be careful when doing so to avoid head-to-wire contact!
- Never attempt to step over or climb through an energized fence of any kind.
- Never encourage anyone to touch an electric fence.
Troubleshooting
Start by measuring the voltage at the end of the fence line. If the voltage is below 3000V, follow these steps to determine if the problem is with the fence, or the energizer.
Test the energizer first!
- Turn off the energizer.
- Disconnect the wires going to the fence and ground stake/rod.
- Turn the energizer back on.
- Measure the voltage on the energizer between the two terminals (positive and negative) with a digital voltmeter or other high-voltage tester. Touch one end to “-“ (earth terminal) and the other end to “+” (fence terminal). The reading tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables.
- If the tester reads below 5000V, then the energizer (or possibly the battery) is the problem. If the voltage is above 5000V, then the trouble lies with your fence.
If the energizer is at fault:
- Test the battery with a low-voltage tester; recharge if lower than 12.2 volts
- Check the grounding system
If the fence is at fault:
- Conductors touching another wire, steel post or the soil
- Broken or damaged insulators

Very high quality. It does exactly what it attests to doing. Premier 1's documentation and information was also superb. It enabled me to make the best product decision, and the product I received works exactly as I expected. Great value for money.
George B from Maryland Eastern Shore
Easy to setup and works great. I drove one 8 foot ground rod and connected (2) ElectroStop® 10/42/12 fences to it. Purchased for goats.
Katrina B from Owosso Mi
works great ! I grounded it and ran the coated wire out to the fence and it was way up to a 6 on my fence tester -- I guess that is pretty good - I hope the horses can hear it as I have a horse is fearless but I haven't seen any thing - works for the sheep too -- who I really bought it for..

I am new to raising goats and started just 2 years ago. A neighbor told me when the thought of raising goats was still in discussion stage, that if you can pour water through a fence, a goat can get out of it. That comment led to more studies and my introduction to Premier 1. I have a Kube, wide-impedance, electric fence charger and my goats do not get out or rub on fences. Unless, I forget to latch the gate. I tell anyone that will listen about all the things I have learned from the staff at Premier 1. Because you see, their products are only part of what make them a great company, the other part is the wisdom they so freely share. Thanks Premier 1.

Some years ago I bought a Hotshock 600 to replace a 20+ year old Premier energizer(925 I think). The Hotshock 600 wasn't quite enough so I bought the Kube 4000 planning to split our fences. It turns out the Kube unit is plenty by itself. Day in day out it is a stronger energizer than the Hotshock 600 and has got to be the best value in an energizer anywhere.
