Protection System Detects an EMP or CME and Trips Your Main Breaker Automatically\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DEFCON Home Switch is a detector and breaker actuator in one. Its onboard circuitry detects the E1, E2 and E3 disturbances of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), as well as the E3-like disturbance of a solar coronal mass ejection (CME). When it detects one, it sounds an alarm and drives a linear actuator that mechanically trips your main breaker, disconnecting the building from the power grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's for homeowners and business owners who want their main breaker opened without having to be there to do it. It can be installed in nearly any facility with a breaker panel, including offices and workshops, and it's designed to trip up to a 200-amp main breaker. It is made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDEFCON Home Switch EMP Protection System Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAutomatic Main Breaker Shutoff\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce an EMP is detected, the Home Switch begins to trip the main breaker. Trip time depends on the breaker, but Faraday says it is typically complete in 1-3 seconds. Faraday designed it to protect the entire home from the conducted E3 disturbances that can come in on the power lines from an EMP or CME.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetection Built for Powerful Disturbances\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe detection circuitry is designed to react only to powerful electromagnetic disturbances, such as those of an EMP or CME, not minor interference.

Its 0.83 in linear throw is enough to trip most breakers. The actuator is very quiet, and the breaker makes a snapping sound when it trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eManual Actuator Control\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA button on the device lets you move the actuator forward or backward manually, and the front panel is marked Forward, Backward and Push.

Faraday says no special tools are required.

Around a Cable to Help Suppress Pulse Energy Before It Reaches Plugged-In Electronics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Faraday Defense Broadband EMP Ferrite is a clip-on ferrite that closes around the cable feeding a sensitive device. Ferrites are ceramic compounds made of a mixed oxide of iron and one or more other metals, and they have long been used to protect sensitive electronic equipment from conductive transients. Faraday says its broadband ferrites provide broadband protection exceeding 1 GHz and suppress energy from a broadband pulse, like that of an EMP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's for anyone protecting equipment that has to stay plugged in, such as solar panels, charge controllers, generators, computers or amateur radios.

Faraday points to high-saturation ferrites instead when high current flows through the wires and you can't reach the wire ends or a broadband ferrite isn't large enough to fit around the wire bundle, or when a solid, non-hinging ferrite is preferred. High-saturation ferrites clip around individual high-current wires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBroadband Ferrite Versus a Toroid Ferrite\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA toroid ferrite goes on by feeding the wire bundle through it, for example by disconnecting battery leads, threading them through and reattaching them.
