## Overview

The T.R.A.P.™ EMP Vehicle Protection device is a compact, plug-in surge protector designed to shield cars, trucks, and other vehicles from electromagnetic pulse (EMP) damage and transient voltage spikes. With a lightning-fast response time under 1 picosecond and the ability to suppress surges up to 5,000 Watts, it offers continuous protection without draining your battery. Easy to install via any 12V auxiliary power outlet, the T.R.A.P. is a must-have for proactive vehicle owners seeking peace of mind against rare but catastrophic electrical events.

## Description

Protect your vehicle with the T.R.A.P. – This device protects your vehicle from EMP damage and other transients. Compatible with cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and other vehicles, the T.R.A.P. is designed to guard against fast transients from many different sources including load changes (such as your A/C kicking on and off), conducted transients from a charging port, radiated energy from a nearby lightning strike, or an overhead electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Simply plug the device into your vehicle’s 12-Volt auxiliary receptacle (cigarette lighter) for it to start working on your vehicle. This device is hand assembled in the US and constructed from the highest quality materials.

Review: Since the chances are I will never be able to update this review because If an EMP hits there won't be a way to. I look at this as spending $60.00 for the hope it protects my vehicle if an EMP was to occure. I error on the side of this is either $60.00 that could save my life but if it doesn't atleast it was only $60.00. I recommend for the hope of peace of mind, but let's say I am not holding my breath.
Review: Fits in the cigarette lighter as it should. Have no idea if it does anything at all

## Features

- Easy Installation- It is extremely easy to install by simply plugging it into the 12-Volt auxiliary receptacle (cigarette lighter).
- The T.R.A.P. is extremely effective against an EMP! 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.
- The T.R.A.P. has a turn-on time of < 1 picosecond, and can suppress up to 5,000 Watts. This means your T.R.A.P. will respond quickly to the EMP, preventing your vehicle from damage.
- Continues to protect when the vehicle is unpowered- The T.R.A.P. continues to act as a high-frequency energy sink even when the vehicle is unpowered.
- The T.R.A.P. will not drain your battery while your vehicle is off. The T.R.A.P. draws essentially zero current except when there is a significant overvoltage.
- Putting energy “traps” at multiple points in your vehicle does a better job shunting away the unwanted energy. Putting a T.R.A.P. in each auxiliary power outlet will provide even more protection.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would a magnetic reed switch do the same thing if a coil was placed next to it to convert the EMP into a magnet and short out the EMP?**
A: Reed switches are useful to detect and react to strong magnetic fields from high currents, but they wouldn’t have the response time to protect from an EMP’s E1 or E2. Also, we looked into them for possible switching to protect from the E3 of an EMP or CME but didn’t find them to be good fits for that application either.

**Q: Physical measure what kp level trips this device g 3 	strong 	

power systems: voltage corrections may be required, false alarms triggered on some?**
A: There was no trip voltage given, but it will handle 5KVP surges in a few nanoseconds. The item is static sensitive and comes in a static protection bag... No voltage adjustments are possible... it's an all or nothing response and I'm not sure if it is possible to overwhelm the device with an exceptionally strong G3 event.

**Q: GPS blocked ?**
A: This will only take care of transient energy that couples into the vehicle during an EMP. It is not designed to block RF signals.

**Q: Will this protect my vehicle better than having it parked in a metal gabage can?**
A: No. The most effective way to protect an item is with metal as that would protect from any transient energy coupling into the item in the first place. The TRAP is designed to 'soak up' the transient energy in the case it was not protected under metal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***V on 30 July 2024*

I purchased one for each of my vehicles. The center pin is not spring-attached and therefore does not allow the pin to be depressed to fit the socket well. The entire unit is barely fitting the socket and could easily bounce out. I installed these hoping they will still work when needed.
