Hi Michel
Complicated for the sake of being complicated maybe it looks good in the sales blurb.
These fences usually senses the peak voltage on the fence line on each pulse and adjust the voltage in the storage capacitors to keep the peak voltage at a given level . The idea is to save on battery consumption. This is good on the face of it but if an animal touches the fence line it wont receive full power until the second pulse which can be too late. I favor fences with a simple High/Low power switch.
Nervus did an mains fence that used a neon to time the pulses. It trigger a triac by discharging a capacitor into its gate. The neon also served as an indicator to show that the fence was working.
Elephant also used a neon in a similar manner in their B2 battery fence.
