Thunderbird M65 240V Mains Fence Energiser

The Thunderbird M65 is an Australian-made electric fence energiser designed to power up to 7.5km of clean fencing under ideal conditions. Its dependable 240V mains operation makes it suitable for livestock paddocks, small farms and permanent electric fencing located near a reliable power supply.

With 0.83 joules of stored energy, the M65 provides greater capacity than smaller property energisers while remaining economical to operate. It is a practical choice for farmers who require continuous fence power without managing batteries or solar-charging equipment.

• Low electricity consumption
• Pulse light confirms energiser operation
• O-ring-sealed enclosure provides additional protection
• Vacuum-sealed transformer supports reliable performance
• Large terminal knobs simplify fence and earth connections
• Safety certified to applicable Australian and New Zealand standards
• Australian made

Continuous Power for Permanent Electric Fencing

Mains-powered energisers provide consistent fence performance without relying on battery condition or available sunlight. This makes the M65 particularly suitable for permanent electric fences installed near sheds, yards or other buildings with access to 240V electricity.

The unit can be used for cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock when matched to an appropriately designed fence and earthing system.

Designed for Australian Farming Conditions

The M65 uses surface-mount electronics and a vacuum-sealed transformer to support long-term reliability. Its tough O-ring-sealed enclosure provides additional protection, while the pulse indicator offers a simple visual check that the unit is operating.

Actual fence performance depends on vegetation load, fence construction, insulation and earthing. Heavy grass contact, damaged insulators and inadequate earthing can substantially reduce the effective fence distance.

Safe Mains-Powered Installation

The Thunderbird M65 must be installed in a dry, protected and well-ventilated location near a suitable 240V power outlet. Follow the supplied instructions and do not expose the power connection to rain or moisture.

Use suitable double-insulated electric fence cable between the energiser, fence and earth system. Keep the electric fence earth system away from household electrical earths, water pipes and other utility earth systems.

Is the Thunderbird M65 Right for Your Fence?

The M65 is suitable for small farms and permanent livestock fences requiring more capacity than an entry-level mains energiser. For long multiwire systems, substantial vegetation pressure or future fence expansion, consider selecting a larger energiser with additional stored energy.

Correct earthing is essential. Contact Horsley Wholesale if you need help selecting an energiser, underground cable or earth system for your property.
