T.R.A.P. EMP Vehicle Protection
The T.R.A.P.™ Transient Reducing Auxiliary Plug is a multi-purpose transient protection device.
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
