This page will be a place to accumulate comments having to do with minimizing dirty electricity issues that are making some people sick. Generally this can be done by plugging in Stetzer filters in many outlets or by installing a large “suppressor” filter next to the main circuit breaker panel.

We intend to go off grid and are already part way there now. Teenage geeks are hacking the grid and major prolonged black out potential is why, not just the smart meter, the big picture. Better to not be caught off guard if possible. Meanwhile we also considered it a bargain to suppress the frequencies. We found the right unit, industrial grade, and had a savvy electrician install it as the means to protect and extend the life of all our non chipped safe appliances from smart grid over voltages, pulses, surges, dirty electricity, all of it. I know it works because ti changed everything for me, from being physically so affected to fully able to function. Sure, we had to do a great deal of research before we found the right one that had been designed with the smart grid and meter frequencies in mind. Traditional suppression units have fixed clamp suppression, which is a set voltage above and below the sine wave, which could be anywhere from 150 to 250 volts, wherever they put the limits. This in essence means that with a traditional unit a transient has to exceed those limits, before it gets “clipped”. And that means that every transient that is smaller goes right through unrestricted and travels throughout the whole building. The one we finally found includes a cutting edge technology, a sine wave tracking feature which closely monitors the voltage and frequency to very minute amounts above and below each and every sine wave. That also means that shortening the wires for the final lead length into the service panel is critical. We used a dedicated double pole breaker for the unit we had installed, though 2 single 115v pole breakers side by side works just as well, either/or, since this item is internally fused on each leg and offers a first rate mode of protection as it monitors every sine wave and adjusts it as needed. As the transients get suppressed by the MOV’s, the excess voltage or current gets converted to heat within the device and discharged thru to ground. That’s why it is also SO important to have a good ground. Sometimes electricians just assume that grounds are all good, but in reality, they cause a lot of grief to people if they are not properly done, which is often the case. How most any ordinary suppressor works internally is that they turn from a high impedance device into a low impedance device as soon as they sense a rise in voltage or frequency. With this particular unit this rise is picked up by the nano second, and is diverted thru the MOV’s, which in turn heat up internally from the excess energy. Just about all the suppressors on the market do not have the ways and means of controlling this potentially overheating factor, whereas this one incorporates thermal fusing between all modes of the circuits, line to line, line to neutral, line to ground, and neutral to ground. It multi layers the MOV’s so that many are operating in the same circuit while dealing with any rise in energy. As the MOV heats up internally, it discharges the energy internally through the ground, while this device thermally encapsulates the whole process, with a mesh and a compound which seals off the circuitry, so the unit is able to function with no heat generated. A conventional suppressor is not good enough for the smart grid. It’s the sine wave tracking circuitry that makes this one more than simply a suppressor, All the overheating prevention safety is built in. This one had the lowest let thru voltage of any other one we compared this one to.
Here is the best part, No surge, no pulses, no harm, no over billing, and no data extraction.
