How much power does an Invisible Fence system use? PDF Print E-mail
The ICT 700 uses a 15-watt transformer, which converts the line voltage from 115 VAC down to 12 VAC. Power is measured in wattage. Wattage is determined by multiplying the voltage by the current. Based on maximum settings, an ICT 700 set at its widest signal field will draw 52 milliamps of current.

Example: .052 (milliamps) X 115 (line voltage) = 6 watts. Compared to a 75-watt light bulb, the power consumption is extremely low.

Most power companies charge by the kilowatt-hour. If our transmitter uses 6 watts, it would take 166 hours to equal one kilowatt-hour. Based on a charge of 15 cents (US) per kilowatt-hour, it would cost approximately $7.80 (US) to operate an ICT 700 for 1 year. Please keep in mind that charges per kilowatt-hour will vary with each power company. The above calculations are only an example and not to be considered as a standard.
