Can these cans be used as a Faraday cage who's purpose is to protect electronic devices during an EMP?

I have no idea what you are asking. I use my can for keeping chicken feed and unusually adept predators; namely raccoons, OUT. It works.

The lid seals pretty tight with a nice fit, but I am unsure if the are water tight. Maybe if your devices were protected in plastic to prevent erosion they may be what you want.

Karon K got it right. You need to insulate the sides, bottom and top. Cardboard is probably the best. Then seal the lid with metal duct tape. For additional protection of delicate devices, put them in a plastic bag, then wrap with aluminum foil.

Yes, IF you line it with cardboard (your items must not come in contact with the metal) and seal the lid with metal tape (resembles duct tape).

Polarized or not, they are unsafe for use. Please keep in mind that these little jewels only make a three prong device "fit" into a two prong receptacle. That little tab does nothing to provide a ground circuit should the device short out or otherwise fail. The whole reason for the third prong is to prevent an electric shock. These devices circumvent that protective element allowing the surge of current to pass through you.

Not sure why you would have to do a refrigerator! These furman are for protecting computers, Hifi and TV. Sure would not hurt but a simple surge protector would be more cost effective!

doug: first of all, you need to make sure your laptop and all electronic equipment is in a farraday cage wtshtf or anything with a battery will be fried if there is an emp. so, google "farraday cage", get one, and keep all important electronics in it when not charging or using them. actually, your marine or other solar batteries, will also fry in the event of an "emp" (electro magnetic pulse). so, you might also want to store your batteries for solar elec storage in a kind of farraday cage, too. just a thought.

Yes, you can use it to protect any electrical unit(s) that do not go over the input rating.

I would imagine that if you can de-energize the wire and connect to it, you should be able to. However, if the low voltage wire is shielded, you would want to attach to the shield instead.

Yes, eventually. Surge protectors work by shunting voltage spikes to ground through an MOV. Eventually the metal oxide varistor fails, usually by burning open or shorting. At that point the device needs to be replaced.

No, it is designed to protect your device, like notebooks, from power spikes, but not to prevent electricity blackouts.

YES! This device is a transmitter that generates electro-magnetic interference and would disrupt all radio communications. It also is probably illegal to use. It also would not be able to stop EMF but would definitely interfere with them.

I don't see why not, as long as you have a good surge protector in front of the electronics.

I think this item is not EMP protected at all, like any ordinary flash drive.

Yes, you can plug it into a surge protector, and the timer will be protected from electrical spikes.

Considering "EMP's" are theoretical may answer is No. The internals are electrically based, and there is most definitely of circut-board. If the eton' is powered on and current is running through the board and EMP would absolutely short the system and ruin it. Radio and all.

I'm no EMP expert but I doubt it. The junction box is plastic and wires go into the junction box so if the EMP doesn't directly get the diodes, the wires will pick up the EMP pulse and take it into the diodes so not much hope. You have to have a complete metal cage around everything to protect it from an EMP pulse which pretty much defeats the function of a solar panel.

I only know of what is written in the manual. They are IR waves and are supposed to NOT give EMF exposure.

They are specifically designed for electronics to insulate wires. They can be used for other things depending on your imagination. They shrink to about half their original diameter.

It is possible to construct a "Faraday cage" with this material, but unlikely in the intended application. It would only interfere if 1) you electrically connected all the panels on your attic roof together, 2) electrically connected the panels to an earth ground, and 3) only then would it block interference signals directly up through the roof - most cell phone signals are reaching you through your side walls.
