EMP Shield Inergy Flex AC EMP Protection Module | 110V Plug-In

EMP Shield Inergy Flex AC EMP Protection Module Protects The Devices You Plug Into It On Your Flex AC Output

The EMP Shield Inergy Flex AC EMP Protection Module attaches to one of the six AC ports on the Inergy Flex 1500 power station. EMP Shield names it the Plug-In 110V module. It has a red cord and plug at one end and a six-outlet box at the other, and the devices you plug into that box are the ones it protects.

This is a single module, not the bundle, and it works with the Inergy Flex only. EMP Shield states the Flex must have both the AC and DC modules connected for full EMP protection of the system. The AC module suits Flex owners who already have the DC module, or who want the AC side covered first.

EMP Shield Inergy Flex AC EMP Protection Module Features

Plugs Into Any Of The Flex 1500's Six AC Ports

The module attaches to one of the six AC ports on the Flex 1500 through its red cord and plug, so it connects to the station the same way your other AC devices do.

Protected Outlets For Your Equipment

EMP Shield states that only devices plugged directly into the AC module are protected. The module's six-outlet box gives those devices a place to plug in.

Fast Overvoltage Shunting

The AC module protects by shunting, or shorting, the overvoltage from an EMP event. EMP Shield states its technology reacts in less than one nanosecond, so the excess is drained away before the voltage rises high enough to cause damage.

Works While You Use The Flex

EMP Shield says its Flex modules provide protection while the station is in use, with no awkward or bulky Faraday cages or bags. Your devices keep running from the Flex with the module in place.

Coverage EMP Shield Lists

EMP Shield lists every phase of an EMP (E1, E2 and E3), solar flares and lightning strikes, and says it is listed by the Department of Homeland Security.

Real-World Applications

Home Office Equipment. EMP Shield shows a laptop, monitor and desktop computer plugged into the AC module's outlets in its full-system setup.

Completing A Two-Module System. If you already protect the solar input with the DC module, adding this one covers the AC side as EMP Shield describes.

Flex AC Circuits. With both modules connected, EMP Shield states the Flex's AC power circuits are protected along with every device plugged into the AC module.

Practical Comparison

The AC Module Versus The AC And DC Bundle

The AC module covers the devices plugged into it. The bundle adds the DC module for the EC8 solar input, which EMP Shield says is also needed for full system protection. Buying both together covers both sides at once.

The AC Module Versus A Plug-In Power Strip Surge Protector

A generic plug-in power strip surge protector isn't built for the Flex. The EMP Shield AC module is designed for the Flex 1500's AC ports and is part of the two-module system EMP Shield made for this station.

Buyer Guidance

Setting It Up

Confirm you own an Inergy Flex, since the module isn't compatible with other power stations. Plug the module into one of the Flex 1500's AC ports, then plug the devices you want protected into the module's outlets rather than straight into the Flex.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You own an Inergy Flex 1500 power station
• You run computers or other electronics from its AC ports
• You have the DC module, or plan to add it

Common Questions

Are Devices Plugged Into The Other Flex AC Ports Protected?

EMP Shield states that only devices plugged directly into the AC module are protected, so plug the equipment you want covered into the module.

Does The AC Module Protect The Solar Input?

No. The solar input is covered by the separate DC module, which plugs into the Flex's EC8 solar input. EMP Shield states both modules are needed for full system protection.

What Warranty Comes With It?

The module carries EMP Shield's 10-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, with repair or replacement. EMP Shield replaces a unit destroyed by lightning for $50 in exchange for the destroyed unit. A separate EMP Shield protection policy can reimburse connected electronics up to $25,000 once its conditions are met.
