If there's an EMP...there ain't gonna be no insurance claims being filed.

[@johnliebenthal]

Kind of.a clickbait teaser line but at least I didn't watch the whole thing.

[@SimpleLivingForever]

I was in the insurance business for 25 years and retiring since 2018. I can tell you and everyone that listen, don’t file the insurance claim unless you have no others alternative. Once you claimed it, your premium will increased higher than you want to pay. If you want to switch to other insurance company, the new company might decline your application or you will have to pay high premium. EMP Shield could be the cheapest investment that everyone can have and affordable! Good luck everyone

I installed an EMP shield in my home 1 week before we had the biggest close lightning strike in 20 years of living here. All of our home wiring and electronics were perfectly protected. The only thing that needed replacing was the EMP shield device. I believe. Our emp shield company replaced the device free of charge. Then I bought an additional emp backup device.

[@Methodizations]

A 'close' lightning strike? Well gee willickers mister you sold me on it!!!😂😂😂

[@marvinlange5797]

Unfortunately my home was hit by lightning. I lost all my TVs that were only internet TVs using Wi-Fi not hooked to cable. My wife's computer that was on Wi-Fi, my computer and a bunch of other miscellaneous items in the home and I have been battling with EMP shield for over a year now for their lightning protection guarantee. I have a statement from the electrician that it was definitely lightning damage. I've sent pictures of the install and they still keep hemming and Hong and won't honor the lightning protection guarantee. My only hope is that it will actually work for an EMP cuz it failed on the lightning. I will say it was a direct hit. It even caused a fire blew up the power distribution center my camper as well so it was a massive lightning strike. But that's where the $25,000 protection is supposed to come in and they have yet to honor anything. I'm not happy

Me too. I bought several, but the one of my pool pump offgris solar got hit by lightening. They denied mine because it wasn't installed by an licensed electrician (even though my son installs solar professionallly);and they said I needed a different emp shield version in it) nowhere on their website did I find a requirement to have a licensed electrician install it and mine was offgrid. I wanted to hope it works, but I'm not sure anymore.... good thing my house didn't get struck by lightning....or an actual emp to find all this out.

[@steveking1053]

The three phases of an EMP are: E1, which is the largest spike but also only lasts a nanosecond. The E2 lasts about a microsecond and the E3 is the one that lasts the longest and permeates in air and can last up to a few hours depending on the magnitude and amplified pulse. It would also be lengthened if you were in the epicenter of the impact.

I have a home and 2 cars EMP shielded. I also put items in faraday bags and cages. If the event does happen, the electrical surge will likely destroy household wiring. The EMP shield should protect that as well as all items plugged in within 250 feet of the device.

How is it different from a fuse, if the powers to much fuse burns out and saves your stuff that's what fuses are for.

[@steveking1053]

By the time a fuse senses the over voltage , the damage is done and your electronics are fried. The EMP Shield senses and shunts in 500 trillionths of a second, which protects your devices. A standard surge protector and/or fast acting relay can not do that and therefore can’t handle a EMP. A EMP is 100x faster than a lightning strike. Let that sink in.

[@mickey1299]

I'm a bit wary as far as protection against a military produced emp goes , but i could be interested in regard to a hobby of mine where a lightning strike is more than likely . My yacht has a 30 foot lighting conductor fitted , technically known as a mast . Actually it has two , but that's neither here nor there . A lightning strike which does happen from time to time so far to other people (touch wood i've managed to escape thus far) , can be particularly devastating to electrics and electronics . Mast head aerials would still suffer , but they are reasonably easy to replace , the expensive bits are below . There are other factors to take into consideration , but i could be persuaded on this one .

[@laurice8056]

I’m concerned about how a deliberate powerful EMP attack would affect the heart. Especially if a person is wearing a pacemaker.😳 EMP protection pouches can protect electrical devices zipped inside of them like a Faraday shield. Would wearing a vest made similarly act like a Faraday shield to protect the person’s heart and/or pacemaker?🤔💭

[@christopherleubner6633]

You can make you own very easily. You will need 6 MOVs sized to dump a surge to the line of your choosing. You will need a hi potential common mode rated choke sized to take the current needed, you will need one gas tube sure arrestor, but 3 would be better, and finally a device called a bidirectional avalanche diode. Arrange so the power goes across the avalanche diodes and the gas tube arrestor. Then route power through the choke and protect the output with the MOVs. The grand total in parts to build this is less than 50 bucks. 😂

Mechanic of 28 years don’t buy this crap that one little device cannot protect your car

This product is pretty much the same as many other surge clamping devices and I do not use it but instead use other devices.. What you are basically buying is a form of loss insurance policy since the company guarantees you with a financial loss contract that would cover losses from spike/surge/EMP beyond what your homeowners/renters/auto insurance policy does to a point.. I don't know of anyone describing the process they went through to claim and settle with this company so it is hard to say if this or is not a good deal..

[@patrickbouldinkm5l143]

I looked at the keystone testing report - here's my beef with the claim of protecting from EMP. The keystone tests don't pulse out a general 50,000 V/M, they inject surges into the power input, correct? So how does that protection protect the circuit board itself from the voltages in the atmosphere surrounding the entire circuit board? Those voltages are not necessarily coming into the power supply. Call me VERY skeptical, especially on the auto protection. They protect the input - what about the alternator surrounded by "EMP charged atmosphere"? How does the protection device on the car input protect the rectifier diodes on the alternator? Not the charges coming in on the battery, but the charges SURROUNDING the alternator itself? I have not seen an adequate test that covers this. I'm not making a statement of fact, I really want to learn and have this question answered becomes I'm VERY dubious of the device's use on EMP. PS I did note your comments on EMP is not guaranteed - nevertheless the products do at least imply EMP protection.

[@guytech7310]

" So how does that protection protect the circuit board itself from the voltages in the atmosphere surrounding the entire circuit board?" what happens during an EMP is that conductors (ie wiring) collect the free electrons creating a voltage potential in the wiring. A surge suppress (EMP shield) acts like voltage clamp when the voltage excess a set voltage (Around 180V). Sort of like throwing a switch causing a short. The issue with whole house devices is that when EMP energy can be collected inside the household wiring & when the Surge suppressor clamps,creating a short, it basically doubles the voltage by creating a voltage loop between Hot and neutral. The only what any EMP\Surge protector can protect devices is if they they are installed a the point of load (ie at the outlet your device is plugged into. For an EMP to damage devices it needs to be connected to about 30 feet of wiring. Less than 30 feet there isn't enough energy to damage the device. When a point of load surge protector clamps there is only a few few of wiring ie the power cord. That said, it pointless to worry about protecting devices from an EMP because all of the nuclear power plants will meltdown & in a few weeks the spent fuel pools with catch fire as the pool water boils away and exposes the rods which catch fire when exposed to steam. All of North America will become un-inhabitable.

@@evecarrington562 Its got a three way set of MOVs. issue is that there are limits & cannot address issues with household wiring (incorrect wiring). Realistically the only way to protect a device is at the point of load: attached on the outlet the device is plugged into.

The product works, however….the most probable cause of an EMP is a nuclear attack or CME. The likelihood of your average homeowner surviving a nuclear attack are approximately nil. If you happened to survive a CME, your home will likely be overrun by the horde. Get one for your car, which will be your only means of escape.

[@Dingo5.56]

[@Sandpipercom]

All electronics will not survive an EMP strike, even if they are not connected, or even turned on. This is a surge protector. A nukeular detonated missile will fry all ic chips in electronics, your tv, stove, microwave, fridge, furnace, cellphone, led house lights, cars, trucks, kiss em all goodbye. Your home won't stop the mass radiation wave flooding your home. Grounded metal storage devices, will help protect, most military equipment have special metal Harding of all electronics but it's not always perfect. why do preppers stock old filament light bulbs. Even some solar panels and charge controllers will die, only old acid batteries will last not lithium as they have ic chips in the battery. To protect against an emp pulse requires specialized stuff, and duplicates of items stored in special metal storage containers. Hmmm cargo containers now thats interesting when grounded and can store electronics on non conductive storage racks. The guy who stored his car in the cargo container may be very smart. But how would he get gasoline when every gas pump in the country is fried, ic chip electronics. Unless the pump is very old and purely mechanical.
