I still have a problem with my protection to the circuit.

The LM317 give me a constant approx 1mA current. When the wire gets cut the
output of the LM317 should go up to 12V. (Thanks Herman)

I have upload a schematic at http://www.eskulaap.co.za/schem.gif .
Will this circuit give me relative good protection against ligtning.

The fence is a 1.6mm wire around a residential home and probably a very good
candidate for a lighting strike.

Should I connect more transorps, MOV's, caps or inductors. Where and what
values?

Thanks

Francois
