How to Protect your Home from an EMP or Solar CME
Please watch the video below for a more complete understanding of how to protect your home from an EMP or CME.
As you can see from the video, we recommend a three-step approach to home protection.
Step 1: Install custom high-saturation ferrites over your incoming power wires. Normal ferrites will not work well due to current saturation. The ferrites sold here are each individually modified to increase their saturation levels, allowing them to suppress high-frequency energy under higher currents. Note: Most homes require three ferrites (for Line 1, Line 2, and a shared Neutral/Ground). Some homes may have four wires and therefore, would need four ferrites (Line 1, Line 2, Neutral, and Ground). Order now while in stock.
Typical installation shown below. Always consult manufacturer’s instructions, and have a professional electrician do the installation for safety. Please note that ferrites tend to make a humming or buzzing noise when high currents flow through them.
Step 2: Install a quality whole-house surge protection device.
Step 3. Install smaller broadband ferrites around power cords of sensitive electronics.
Other recommended EMP/EMF Home Protection devices:
DEFCON™ EMP Alert System
$199.99
If an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) occurs, most people will remain completely unaware. Only as they discover that many of their modern electronics stopped functioning, will they begin to suspect that something is wrong. The DEFCON™ EMP Alert System is designed to detect electrical disturbances resulting from an electromagnetic pulse or a solar coronal mass ejection (CME). This device monitors the power lines and ambient air for damaging disturbances. Once detected, the DEFCON™ EMP Alert System provides audible warnings so that additional protective steps can be taken, such as opening the main circuit breaker to prevent home damage.
MAX Blackout CYBER Faraday Fabric RF / EMF Shielding Curtains – 1 Panel
$199.99
The premium MAX Blackout CYBER 70db attenuation Curtain Panel offers the ultimate EMF protection for your home. They are lined in diamond CYBER fabric, blocking EMF and radiation signals. Additionally, the curtain is 100% blackout and has thermal insulation, providing privacy, energy efficiency and noise reduction. The panel has 8 double-sided grommets for easy styling.
Standard Panel: 52in. Width x 84in. Height
T.R.A.P.-AC
$75.00
The T.R.A.P.™-AC is a high-voltage 5,000-watt transient voltage suppression device in a form factor that plugs into the three-prong AC receptacle of an inverter or portable generator. The T.R.A.P.™ is designed to guard against very fast transients from any source. This includes radiated energy from a nearby lightning strike or an overhead electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
EMP Whole-House Ferrites
$75.00 – $199.00
These custom ferrites are made of a special high-frequency material and uniquely modified to help prevent high-current saturation. A ferrite is clamped around the insulated incoming power wires in your breaker panel. Most homes require three ferrites, but a few homes may require four ferrites (see video below).
Buy 3 ferrites and save $11.
Ferrite dimensions: Inner Diameter 0.72″, Outer Diameter 1.5″, Length 1.9″.
Router Shield 2 / 2XL
$199.99 – $279.99
Operating safely throughout your day is important to us. Routers give off a lot of EMF radiation, and it spills throughout your house or building. The Router Shield 2 is designed with aesthetics and performance in mind. You can place your router easily into the router guard while balancing the ability to reduce harmful EMF and still being able to connect and operate seamlessly with your devices. The Router Shield 2 XL is available for larger sized routers.
Broadband EMP Ferrites
$13.00 – $55.00
Broadband ferrites provide excellent suppression of energy from a broadband pulse, like that of an EMP. Select a size that will clip around your cable -- too large is okay, but not too small. Looping the cable through the ferrite helps to further reduce the transient, see video below.
Siemens BoltShield FSPD140 Level 2 w/ Mounting Bracket
$319.99
Protecting your home or shop from the threat of EMP is critical. Having the correct components installed to protect your home or shop is just as critical. The best way we know to do that is by taking 3 simple steps highlighted below. The FSPD140 fulfills one of the most important steps, which is having a quality whole-house surge protection device. It has 140,000 Amps of surge current capacity per phase. Siemens believes today’s residential surge protectors come up short when protecting today’s modern home filled with smart appliances and electronics. This is why we developed our FirstSurge commercial class total home surge protectors. Installed at your load center, FirstSurge will stop surges before they get into your home. FirstSurge is offered in three levels of protection depending upon geographic location and the storm activity where you live. When FirstSurge wears out, its commercial class 3-stage notification diagnostics immediately alerts you that it needs replacing. Knowing you're surge protected with commercial class protection gives you peace of mind that your smart appliances and electronics will always be surge protected.
Note: A mounting bracket is included with the Siemens BoltShield FSPD140.
