Ya Know,
Last year after hearing chatter early on of a monkeypox outbreak, It always seems the higher ups seem to project or predict what will come next. For years I have been hearing about a EMP attack on our grid be it man made or Mother nature doing the deed.
Could this be the answer to all your Emp Needs? like a vaccine on all your electrical equipment...
Somebody sent me this, I think other Companies are doing the same thing, what do you all think.
EMP Sheild
This device will not protect any electrical / electronic device from a nuclear EMP source. EMP is well understood and is in use all over the world by almost every modern Government. The primary method of EMP protection is via shielding. Next is directing and dissipating the frequency and energy somewhere else.
That somewhere else is almost always to Earth Ground . . .
Other secondary methods is to insure all board level components are spec'd to have the highest quality and voltage rating possible given a specific use case and design. Other layered methods incorporated into a true
EMP Solution involves isolation of various compartments from one another.
This device is simply a SPD / TVSS (Surge Protector) nothing else . . .
It's marketed to the stupid and those who don't understand basic science and electricity.
I can't speak to how well this device would operate as a SPD / TVSS as they don't indicate any UL 1449 specifications besides lots of word salads in their advert. UL 1449 certification is and has NO relevance / relationship to EMP - None!
A quick review of their web page doesn't even offer any written documentation of the let through, VPR, MCOV. Their literature states this device meets and passed the:
I could probably spend a lifetime talking about how this tiny plastic device doesn't even come close to offering EMP protection whether it be from the sun or worse a in the air nuclear detonation.
- MIL-STD-188-125-1 <- This is related to HEMP (High Altitude EMP) bull shit
