YShield Magnetic Field, RF, ELF & Smart Meter Shielding Plate - 59 x 40

YShield Magnetic Field, RF, ELF & Smart Meter EMF Shielding Plate - 59 x 40

This magnetic field shielding plate is for shielding low frequency magnetic fields from equipment like electrical switch and circuit boards, inverters and other sources of high magnetic fields.  These plates will also block electric fields, dirty electricity and radio-frequency radiation, like from smart meter antennas

 

It is suited for small surfaces in a domestic environment, as well as for large surfaces in construction, trade or industry. Additionally there are various application possibilities in cars, electric vehicles, vans, mobile homes, campers.

 

Permanently protected from environmental influences on both sides with a laminating film, it is therefore extremely durable. For this product, we have connected 6 very thin shielding foils together, because several thin layers provide better shielding than one thick sheet.

 

Technical data

  • Thickness: 0.5 mm (0.7 mm overlapping)
  • Attenuation magnetic fields (Three-phase 50 Hz): Single-layer 20 dB (89.4 %), two-layer 26 dB (94.8 %), three-layer 30 dB (96.9 %), four-layer 33 dB (97.7 %)
  • Attenuation magnetic fields (Single-phase 50 Hz): Single-layer 18 dB (87 %), two-layer 23 dB (93.1 %), three-layer 27 dB (95.4 %), four-layer 29 dB (96.6 %)
  • Attenuation magnetic fields (Static): DC consumers, earth magnetic field, permanent magnets are shielded in a range from 15 % (single-layer) to 58 % (four-layer)
  • Minimum bending radius: 20 cm
  • For reasons of innovation, we do not declare ingredients and magnetic key figures. The high-tech material has a high initial permeability and high saturation induction from 5 Hz to 50 kHz. In addition, static magnetic fields at 0 Hz are shielded, as are electromagnetic fields up to 40 GHz.

 

Size

59 x 40 cm (shielding surface); 61 x 41 cm (total product)

80 x 55 cm also available

 

We recommend measuring with an EMF meter to see how far the magnetic field spreads.  Often the field will be about twice the size of the main source, like a switchboard, or even more. 

If the covered surface is too small, the magnetic fields will curve back over the edges.  Shielding as large a surface area as possible is essential to ensure successful shielding outcomes for magnetic fields.

 

Installation

  • The M6L-series can be cut with high-quality scissors.  The cutting edges are as sharp as knives and need to be protected (e.g. with fabric tape) immediately after cutting.   Use cut-resistant gloves during processing. We recommend planning the installation of the plates in a way that you do not have to cut them
  • Pay attention with larger wall spaces as the plates are a water vapour barrier
  • Application: Choose an adhesive that can bond the laminating film made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate). There are high viscosity mounting adhesives for e.g. solid substrates or flexible plastic adhesives for gluing, e.g. underneath carpets in cars. Follow the instructions of the glue manufacturer. Application using a stapler or nailer: If the substrate is suitable, we recommend using an electric stapler or nailer. For one layer including overlap, a medium-priced electric tacker is sufficient; for two or more layers, you will need a professional nailer. The shielding surface must overlap by at least 2 cm. Multilayer installation: Always install the plates in an offset position - the surface is to cover the overlapping underneath
  • Grounding is recommended and should be completed by a licenced electrician

  • When the RF EMF Shielding Foil is installed, its location, quantity and proper installation should be determined by a trained EMF specialist like Safer EMF. This foil will reflect Radio Frequency Radiation and improper installation can result in increased exposure.
  • In order to ensure optimum screening performance, the specialist or consultant should assess the living space for Radio Frequency “RF” Radiation and AC Electric Fields. Before and after measurements are important to determine the overall effectiveness of the shield. 

 

Grounding

When shielding magnetic fields, also pay attention to the electric fields. Grounding must be carried out to prevent the spread of electric fields. The M6L series is fully laminated, but there is still a solution for contacting: Stick our GSX10 or GSX50 grounding tape to all surfaces. Staple or nail through the grounding tape. The staples or nails make contact with the panel and grounding strap.  Grounding should be completed by a licenced electrician
