The EMP Shield Inergy Flex DC EMP Protection Module plugs into the EC8 solar input on the Inergy Flex power station and sits between the Flex and your solar panels. It is made for the Flex only and is not compatible with any other power station.
This listing is a single module, not the bundle. EMP Shield states the Inergy Flex must have both the AC and DC modules connected to provide full EMP protection of the system. The DC module suits Flex owners who already have the AC module, or who want to start with the solar side and add the AC module next.
The module connects through the Flex's EC8 solar input. Your panels plug into the module, and the module plugs into the Flex, so it sits directly in the solar line.
EMP Shield builds this module for PV arrays with a maximum open-circuit voltage (VOC) of up to 90V. Keeping your array within that limit lets the module protect your DC circuits.
The module protects by shunting, or shorting, overvoltage from an EMP event. EMP Shield says its technology reacts in less than one nanosecond, which drains the overvoltage away before it can climb high enough to damage equipment.
EMP Shield says its Flex modules protect the station while it's in use, without awkward or bulky Faraday cages or bags. The Flex can keep charging from your panels with the module connected.
EMP Shield lists all phases of an EMP (E1, E2 and E3), solar flares and lightning strikes among the events its technology addresses, and it states it is listed by the Department of Homeland Security.
Solar-Charged Flex Setups. If panels charge your Flex through the EC8 input, this module puts a protector on that line.
Completing A Two-Module System. Owners who already have the AC module can add this one to reach the full AC and DC protection EMP Shield describes for the Flex.
DC Output Devices. With both modules connected, EMP Shield states the Flex's DC power circuits and every device plugged into its DC output ports are protected.
The DC module covers the solar input only. The bundle adds the AC module, which EMP Shield says the Flex also needs for full system protection. If you have neither module yet, the bundle gets both sides in one step.
A Faraday bag or cage protects equipment only while it is sealed and disconnected, so a Flex stored that way can't charge from solar. The DC module stays in the solar line while the station works.
Confirm you own an Inergy Flex and that your PV array's maximum VOC is 90V or less. Then plug the module into the Flex's EC8 solar input and connect your panels to the module.
No. EMP Shield states the Flex needs both the AC and DC modules connected for full EMP protection of the system.
No. EMP Shield says its Flex modules are not compatible with any other power station.
EMP Shield gives a 10-year limited warranty on defects in materials and workmanship, handled by repair or replacement. A unit destroyed by lightning is replaced for $50 when the destroyed unit is sent in. EMP Shield's separate protection policy may reimburse damaged connected electronics up to $25,000 under its conditions.
The EMP Shield Inergy Flex DC EMP Protection Module puts protection on the Flex's EC8 solar input for arrays up to 90V VOC. If you'd like help checking your array or pairing it with the AC module, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
