X-Stop EL550 230v Mains Powered Electric Fence Energiser 5.5J - 130Km

The X-Stop EL550 is a powerful low-impedance mains electric fence energiser, designed for large to very large fencing systems where a 230V mains electricity supply is available. Built for demanding installations, it’s designed to push power right down the fence line and maintain performance even when the fence is under load (for example light-to-moderate vegetation, damp conditions, or minor leakage).

The EL550 is ideal for protecting or enclosing multiple strip graze areas, large paddocks and large fields. It’s also a strong choice for strip grazing systems thanks to its straightforward setup and reliable, consistent output.

• Low impedance technology – Designed to deliver power to the end of the fence even under heavy load (e.g. foliage, undergrowth and general fence leakage).
• High power output – Rated at 5.5 joules for strong, reliable animal control across long fence lines.
• Covers large areas – This energiser can power up to 130Km of fencing or an effective area of up to 1,056km² / 105,600ha.
• Built-in lightning & short-circuit protection – Helps protect the energiser and improves user safety in real-world conditions.
• LED indicator – Pulsing LED shows the energiser is working at a glance.
• AC power, low maintenance – Simple plug-and-play operation helps ensure successful installation, even for inexperienced users.
• Weatherproof design – IP54 rated housing for outdoor mounting (dust protected and splash resistant).
• Multiple mounting options – Heavy-duty case with fixing holes for wall mounting or fitting to wooden/steel fence posts.
• Certified and compliant – CE listed and designed to meet relevant electric fencing safety requirements.
