Will this protect against an emp?

The "Uline" brand DO have a "metal 'faraday cage' layer", not sure why it's in quotes, according to their site. I decided to go with those personally, as I have gotten good materials from Uline for other projects before.

I believe it would cover most surge protector cords. I have a treadmill hooked up thru this and it is a very heavy duty cord.

No, it only protects the RV from a surge (lightning, etc). If voltage to your RV goes low, this device won't do anything.

I'm not sure about that, but I guess that kind of protection has to be in the house energy brakers. I would think it will give you some protection but I would not relay only on this.

Yes, it is designed to protect the coaxial cabel system to any and all devices that are conected. Installed at point coaxial cabel enteres the house so that the entire coaxial system in the house is protected. Any tv or computer conected to the coaxial system beyond the instalation point would be protected.

Again... EMPs aren't really weapon used to that extent as far as I know. A strong pulse close enough could damage the internals if the circuitry is powered. If it's dead then potentially it could avoid damage. My unit is almost always dead since its stored inside and not used. So an EMP wouldn't affect it. But I even a low charge could still affect it. EMPs short electronics by manipulating the flow of electrons with a magnetic field. Which can cause arcing across circuit boards and ruin powered motors. So if the battery is dead and no electricity flowing, then the unit should survive fine.

The first question would be does the silly thing work (I don't have a lot of confidence in mine). As I cannot answer that one, I'm not sure the second question matters. BUT, theoretically you could surround your 2nd one in a lead shield to protect it.

I know this answer may be too late, but .... The shield is continuous through the protector, but it does not appear to connect to the ground wire when I measure with an ohmmeter.

No surge protection. It barely weighs anything. Not sure about the shielding. It's basically just a cheap power strip. If that's all you want then you will be satisfied.

The foil will only shield if it's grounded. You'll more likely reduce your interference via careful wiring, twist the wire pairs and avoid long wire runs and loops.

i don't think it is a surge protector. it does act like a circuit breaker and shuts off when it gets too hot. you'd really need to ask the manufacturer about surge protection.

There are better one's on the market protection wise, but this one filled my need to fit in a tiny space. I would say it is better than not having any surge protection. I got zapped by a lighting strike last year and that took out the circuit board in the garage door opener. So any protection is better than none. It has a 3 pronged plug and 2 led lights to let you know it is working.

This radio with the USB connector is made for what it is made for.... small things like phones and maybe tablets. Even tablet charging is asking for a lot. The charging circuit is very limited. If we did ever get an EMP or CME pulse from the sun it will fry the electronics of this radio. Remember this radio has IC circuits in it. A blast of X-Ray energy will wipe it out. I guess if you are not using the radio and have removed any battery's from the radio you could wrap it in about 5 layers of heavy duty aluminium foil. That may be enough to stop an EMP or CME blast from wiping it out.

It'll maintain power to the device. I'm not sure what the surge suppression is rated at (jewels), so I can't say that it will offer complete protection.

Don't see why not. Any electrical surge should be directed by the lightening protector to ground, providing the flow to earth is adequate. Any secondary protection can only be beneficial, as long as signal quality is not compromised.

I am an electrician and have pretty good understanding of how lightning works. I would not have any wire in the ground without a protector unit. Nothing can guarantee 100% protection when it comes to lightning, but I feel this unit is as safe as it gets. Thanks, Don.

That's probably the most unique question I've ever been asked. I have no clue. I don't really plan on being hit by an EMP any time soon. Sorry mate. Check out this thread: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=75662.
