T.R.A.P. EMP Vehicle Protection. Lightning, Solar Flare and Surge Protection

Description: The T.R.A.P.™ Transient Reducing Auxiliary Plug is a multi-purpose transient protection device. It is extremely easy to install by simply plugging it into the 12-Volt auxiliary receptacle (cigarette lighter).The plug is made with bronze nickel plated negative contacts, gold plated center contact, and Bakelite body. It is rated for 25 Amps continuous, much more than is needed for voltage transients. The transient voltage suppression component is ultra high reliability (AEC Q101 qualified), has a turn-on time of < 1 picosecond, and can suppress up to 5,000 Watts. The full size is 3″ long.How can the T.R.A.P.™ be effective against an EMP when it’s so small?The danger to vehicles from an EMP is the high voltage that is introduced on the cables from E1 and E2. Those transient voltages are extremely brief in time (from nanoseconds to microseconds) and can therefore be suppressed using small devices. This is distinctly different than the case with homes, which would also experience a powerful E1 current surge from the power grid.Is it ok to use multiple T.R.A.P.s in one vehicle?Yes, putting energy “traps” at multiple points in your vehicle does a better job shunting away the unwanted energy. Maximum protection is achieved by using a T.R.A.P.™ in every auxiliary power outlet, as well as using the T.R.A.P.™-B across the vehicle’s battery.Does a T.R.A.P.™ protect a vehicle even when the vehicle is powered off?The T.R.A.P.™ provides transient protection even with the ignition switch turned off because interconnected cable assemblies can still receive damaging energy. The T.R.A.P.™ continues to act as a high-frequency energy sink even when the vehicle is unpowered.
