Seen in movies and video games, an EMP or electromagnetic pulse is often believed to be a fictitious weapon. Although the majority of the United States is unaware of what an EMP is, this threat is actually very real. As this threat has been realized by the government, the effects of an EMP have started to be studied. The Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico have
EMP’s are actually so dangerous to national defense that the United States Air Force has created the Electromagnetic Defense Task Force (EDTF). The impact of an EMP would be detrimental to the United States critical infrastructure. In an effort to protect the United States, the EDTF has produced a 2018 report outlining the effect an EMP would have should an attack occur.

Tested at the Keystone Compliance Facility using DOD approved EMP testing devices similar to the EMP environmental simulator at Sandia Laboratories, EMP Shield has developed the worlds first whole-home EMP defense technology. This technology has been proven through a federally approved testing facility to withstand over 40x EMP strikes without degradation to the device.

AC vs DC Power: What’s the Difference?
Electricity runs pretty much everything around us, but it’s not all the same. There are two big players: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Sure, both provide us with the juice we need, but they work in totally different ways, so you can’t treat them...
EMP Shield Response Time: Why Speed Matters
When it comes to surge protection, speed matters more than most people realize. The E1 phase of an electromagnetic pulse has an extremely fast rise time, typically reaching peak intensity in approximately five nanoseconds. If a surge protector cannot react quickly...
