Thank you very much about it Tez. A very good reminder indeed. I'll add it to edited posts of mine.

This is true for all type of activities (repairs, modification, measurement, etc...) on the actual electric network of any house.

But... you don't need an electrician to shield your electronics if you use new wire and shield (metal box, faraday cage, foils, etc...) and ground it with new wires network. As long as you don't touch the electrical network and do not touch electrical power.

If I may add this: Many people asked me through private message if military are/will use it against cities, citizen, etc... It wasn't my original idea for this thread, but here is the information I got about it. There are many different kind of EMP military can use, from micro-wave to infra-red, without mentioning all of them. And there is not much protection against these weapons because of the magnitude and precision (target). The best and more affordable protection against these weapons are to my humble knowledge lead layers. Because of it's atomic structure, lead absorb some effect of these waves. Faraday cages are also very efficient, but both these solution are more expensive and time consuming to set them up, both of these solution need to be connected to the Earth ground. Skeptical made a very informative comment about it on a previous post.

Here is a link to Faraday Cages tutorial: http://www.unitedstatesaction.com/em...aday_cages.htm

Namaste, Steven
