SolidGround® GIC Neutral Blocking Device (NBD) being installed on a 345kV Transformer. Installation is straightforward - SolidGround® fits on all High Voltage Transformers regardless of design (115kV - 765kV).
about us
Emprimus is a research and development company working closely with major utilities and various departments of the United States to design, patent, build, test, license and manufacture complete and effective products to protect the electric power grid (both AC and HVDC) against stray DC currents, Solar Storm ground induced currents (GIC), Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attacks including high altitude Nuclear EMP (HEMP), and Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) caused by Radio Frequency Weapons.
Emprimus holds patents and patents pending in the United States, Europe and in nations around the world on its methods, circuits, components and software.
Solutions
SolidGround® - GIC Neutral Blocking Device
The patented SolidGround® grid stability and harmonics mitigation system was developed in conjunction with the utility industry and offers tested and proven power grid protection against the effects of stray DC from HVDC operation and Ground Induced Currents (GIC) from both common and large Solar Storms and High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP). SolidGround® is an advanced transmission technology allowing for increased capacity during GIC events and can replace costly standard operating mitigation procedures such as switching out lines and transformers, switching in equipment for voltage support, as well as “uneconomic dispatch”.
EMP.Alert® - EMP/IEMI Detection & Triggering
EMP.Alert® is the only real-time EMP/IEMI detector on the market that can detect both a wide frequency range (10MHz - 10GHz) and a field strength range of <100 V/m - 100,000+ V/m.
EMP.Alert® is a patented EMP detection & trigger system making it the only product that complies with the NDAA 2017 Sec. 319 (3) “rapidly isolating portions of the electric grid from the main electric grid” and (6) “a real-time alert system to inform operators within milliseconds of a high-altitude nuclear explosion.”
