Kube 4000 Energizer
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.

- 110V draw is 4.5 watt per hour
- 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

The Kube energizer is obviously a well made unit. No comparison to the less expensive brands. Works flawlessly.
John G from New Mexico
This charger has been very effective under extremely dry soil conditions. I would recommend it for folks in similar circumstances. I did have to swap the cord for a longer one, but the unit is highly serviceable.
Joseph M from Minnesota
I’m impressed by how well this fencer shocks under dry conditions. This thing shocks like a unit with a higher joule rating. I was thinking it might be under powered, but the tester says 7.2kV and that’s plenty. A lot of power for the price. The reviews were helpful and convinced me to try it.
David B from Ohio
We have 4 of these fence energizers in use. They have been relatively durable over the last 10 plus years. Several have been repaired for various reasons, some sent back and others repaired locally. We did after nearly 10 years have a serious problem. We started getting micro voltage feedback in one of our watering systems. Several electricians looked at the problem over the last year and a variety of things were done, but ultimately one of them looked up the stats on this system and contrary to the “kit” they recommend 3 ground rods spaced 10 feet apart. We did that and have had no further problems. Our other 3 units are doing well on 1 ground rod. Electricity is very difficult to deal with sometimes.
Lauren D from Louisiana
Works very well — we’ve had this for several years and needed to replace the cord that plugs into the outlet. I didn’t see it on the website, but if you call Premier 1 they do have the replacement cords for about $18. It looks very easy to repair.
