Thanks for the replies.  I did remove the jumpers for the divider fence and each line worked individually.  However, when I jumped all three together the fence charger would blink twice and then go off.  I put the fence reader on the jumper wire from the perimeter fence to where it would jump to the division fence.  I had my wife plug in the charger and there was no reading on the fence reader which made sense since the charger went off after two seconds.  Would the charger do the blink and then go off if it could not power the added amount of fence or would it just pulse and the charger would stay on?  I have never had a charger just go off.  The fence is supposed to be able to handle up to 30 miles of fence.  Again, thanks for all replies and suggestions.

I have a 3 strand high tensile perimeter fence that works fine.  When I connect a 3 strand high tensile electric fence to divide the field my charger (that usually reads 8.6 KV) will go to 1.2 blink two or three times and then the charger goes off.  The charger is an electric parmak good for 30 miles.  All three perimeter wires are hot and verified using a fence tester.  I have three ground rods spaced approximately 10 feet apart.  I have jumper wires connecting the perimeter fence at the feed line from the charger and then at the end of the perimeter fence, one at the halfway point and one where I put the divider fence.  The perimeter fence is 1572 feet so with 3 strands the total is 4716 feet of fence (less than 1 mile).  The divider fence is 384 feet times 3 strands of high tensile wire will equal 1152 feet of wire.  The divider fence only connects to the perimeter fence at one point.  At the other end of the fence where the fence ends I put a jumper wire to connect the three strands to themselves.  I have checked the fence insulators that are attached to the T post and the insul tube that goes around the wooden corner post and all are in good condition.  Any ideas what is going on?  Thanks
