The Generation of the Event when a High Altitude Nuclear bomb explodes to disrupt our atmosphere.

EMP refers to a burst of electromagnetic radiation that can disrupt, damage, or destroy electronic devices and systems. The EMP phenomenon occurs in three distinct phases: E1, E2, and E3. Unprotected or poorly shielded devices are most vulnerable to EMP effects, experiencing anything from temporary malfunctions to permanent damage. EMP can also impact vehicles, especially those with extensive electronic systems. Modern automobiles heavily rely on electronic components for various functions, including engine control, braking systems, and entertainment systems. An EMP event can disrupt these systems, potentially rendering the vehicle non-functional.

EMP Phase E1 only nanoseconds long caused by a High Altitude Nuclear Fission Bomb.

The E1 phase is the initial and fastest component, lasting only a few nanoseconds. It is characterized by a high-frequency pulse of Gamma radiation that can induce strong currents in conductive materials, overwhelming the sensitive electronic components and leading to their malfunction or destruction. The upper atmosphere allows coherent gyration of Compton-scattered electrons in the Earth's magnetic field and turns the atmosphere into a giant antenna. This pulse is too fast for ordinary Lightning Surge Protectors. In order to meet the speed to kill the treat all EMP protectors must meet AEC-Q101 standards as Killswitch does.

EMP Phase E2 milli-seconds long Similar to Lightning Strike or Electrostatic Discharge

Following the E1 phase is the E2 phase, which lasts for hundreds of microseconds. This phase is caused by the interaction of the nuclear detonation with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in a slower and more gradual pulse. While the E2 phase is less destructive than the E1 phase, it can still cause significant damage to electronics and electrical infrastructure. This is the least destructive phase as it resembles that of ordinary lightning strikes or transients. Typical surge protectors or power strips can manage these. This pulse damages devices disconnected from power lines such as battery powered electronics

EMP Phase E3 lasting for seconds or even minutes. Similar to CME solar flare

The E3 phase is the longest-lasting component, lasting from milliseconds to minutes. It is caused by the interaction of the nuclear detonation with the Earth's ionosphere, resulting in a pulse with a lower frequency. The E3 phase can induce powerful currents in long conductors, such as power lines, leading to widespread damage to the electrical grid and other critical infrastructure. This is highly destructive and actually burns wiring and damages transformer and motor windings due to the prolonged increased voltages. Most E3 pulses do not affect cars, unless they are plugged into a charging station connected to the electrical grid.

Compact Design - Mount it anywhere

Brass Ring Terminals resists Acid Corrosion

Killswitch offers BRASS terminals to attach to your car's battery. Brass will resist any Acid corrosion coming from the battery. The worst thing to have happen is that these wires dissolve and fall off. Also, the cable to terminal connection is TOTALLY sealed from any water/acid exposure. Other manufacturers have exposed copper wires and substandard open crimps with tin-plated connectors which is easy target for acid, water, and weather elements.

Fuse Compartment is Watertight

Killswitch places a Safety Fuse on every item we manufacture. It is important to know anything attached to a 12VDC car battery must have a fuse in the circuit. If no fuse is present, extreme high currents could cause wires to burn and start fire. Adding an un-fused device may void most automobile warranties. We want you safe and protected and our fuses are located in Watertight Compartments and not open to weather conditions that would cause it to fail.

Blinking LED Light - Saves Energy

For the cause of saving energy, Killswitch has improved our devices with a RED LED Blinking indicator to show our device is functioning correctly. Our LED indicators consume 1/2 power from the car's battery only when the LED is illuminated in the on position. Blink frequency is about one-second rate. Another overlooked feature is that the Blinking LED is much easier to observe on a very bright day because the ON/OFF transitions are very apparent.
