- Using external extension cords can be great but used in-properly it can cause major damage. Check your wires or you could end up with a short or worse a fire!
Check out this wiring fail that almost burnt down the barn. Check your wires!

They sell enclosures you put over the connection to keep water out . .
Still not a permanent solution.
Interesting, this may be good until we get some metal fencing up
Its self healing plastic that’s a safety design
Very cool! Glad this is all that happened!
Your wire should also have a drip loop in it to prevent that. Tie a knot at the junction so a loop of wire ends up below the outlets and it makes the outlets point down
You trying to help this guy burn his building down? 🤣 he's running an electric fence on that. It should be a covered GFCI outlet, and the wires should be run through conduit. Even in a temporary situation, the extension cord should be rated for outdoor use and pluggged into a GFCI. A drip loop will not stop moisture from condensing inside the receptacle.
Looking to replace the whole area with woven wire. In the meantime this is helpful! Want to make sure we still have something to fence!
thats why you cover it with a pvc pipe and seal the ends with silicone
For long term use we are thinking about burying it in a conduit. PVC would be fine?
@@farmomma ether way works as long its air tight so no water can get in. you have to think about temperature changes and moisture too. burying it will be better because you don't have to worry about moisture.
😂 that does not look like an extension cord rated for outdoor use.
Can you show me what an outdoor rated extension cord looks like? Seems like there are different classifications of “outdoor rated”
@@farmommayou need a 3 way auto GFCI cord for outdoor use where you expect rain. No such plug made to stay on when taking water directly into the outlet, thus the GFCI will trip when an overload occurs.
@farmomma dude, don't get defensive over this.
Do some research. That extension cord should have never been outdoors for any extended period of time.
Also, NO EXTENSION cord should be used as a permanent fix. They should ALWAYS ONLY be used while you're using them actively. For any permanent use, you need to run an actual rated drop out there. Since it's outside, you'll need a GFCI outlet, rated for outdoors. Preferably one with a swing down plastic cover.
You're literally begging for your property to burn down, using extension cords as a permanent connection.... How you don't know this, yet you're posting on TH-cam about it, is concerning. You're going to get someone hurt if they do what you're doing.
@@lp1292no.if you know that, you also know those should never be used, and are not rated, for permanent installation.
Construction work, running some lights that you unplug when not in use, sure.
He's running an electric fence, 24/7, off an extension cord. It will fail. Every. Time.
He needs a rated outdoor drop.
Don't tell people on here shit information. You'll get someone hurt.
@therdubya I don't think the other guy commenting was suggesting he use it permanently, but considering this guy's setup here, and his reaction to being called out for it, I would not assume he knew any better 😂 Like you said, extension cords are not a permanent solution. There should be a covered, GFCI protected outlet, with the wires run through conduit.
If rainwater is not conductive, what caused this?
It looks like water got in the empty terminals on the splitter, it is plugged into a GFCI outlet but it didn’t trip for some reason…
@@farmomma but would the super high resistance in the water cause so great a short to melt the plastic? would think the heat would cause it to evaporate. and again, that doesn't answer the question of rain water not being conductive.
