It is made for the Flex only and is not compatible with any other power station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEMP Shield Inergy Flex DC EMP Protection Module Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEC8 Plug Made For The Flex Solar Input\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module connects through the Flex's EC8 solar input.

Keeping your array within that limit lets the module protect your DC circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOvervoltage Shunted In Under A Nanosecond\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProtection Without A Faraday Cage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield says its Flex modules protect the station while it's in use, without awkward or bulky Faraday cages or bags.
