International Electric Super 98 is an older model electric fence charger that outputs high‑frequency AC to energize fencing. Known failure modes include a cracked or blown output capacitor (often half the capacitance), damaged mains cord or plug, and internal transformer winding faults that can cause intermittent light pulsing but no fence voltage. First‑check diagnostics: verify the unit receives proper line voltage on its input terminals; inspect the main power cord and connector for continuity and insulation integrity; test the output capacitor with a multimeter (looking for leakage or reduced capacitance) and measure the transformer secondary voltage while the unit is powered to confirm proper energization.[oss-gpt-20b]
