EMP Shield offers it as its portable unit for RVs, campers, apartments, camping, travel and computers. According to EMP Shield, it guards against all phases of an EMP (E1, E2 and E3), coronal mass ejections (CME), lightning and power surges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made for people who cannot or would rather not wire anything into a breaker panel, such as renters, RV owners and anyone running a small 110-volt generator. EMP Shield says that plugging it into a non-GFI outlet protects the entire electrical phase that outlet sits on. In a camper, that means the camper's whole electrical system and every device plugged into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEMP Shield Plug-In 120V EMP Protection Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNo Hardwiring And No Electrician\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield calls the plug-in model the easiest way to protect your most important devices, without hardwiring or professional installation.

It says the unit protects a 110-volt generator or a camper by simply plugging it into the outlet. The unit connects through a red cord with a standard three-prong plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e228kA Surge Capacity With Sub-Nanosecond Response\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield rates the plug-in model for a surge capacity of 228kA (114kA nominal discharge current). EMP Shield states that the unit starts shunting over-voltage in less than one nanosecond, moving excess energy away from what is plugged in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLab Testing And A Made-In-Kansas Build\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield reports testing at Keystone Compliance to MIL-STD-188-125-1, MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-464C and RS-105, and states its products are listed by the Department of Homeland Security in its EMP resilience report.
