Everything you want to know about the Power Perfect Box — how it works, how it saves you money, and what's covered.

Power Right's Energy Management Systems (EMS) such as the Power Perfect Box correct the electrical system in your home or office in real time. They reduce heat, lower amperage, and lessen the harmful effects of “electric noise” and negative harmonics found in most electrical systems — which decreases your consumption of electricity. As a wire-in solution at the electrical distribution panel, the Power Perfect Box provides robust surge protection, voltage regulation, line conditioning, EMF reduction, harmonics reduction, energy savings through reduced consumption, and equipment longevity from cleaner, more efficient power.

Visualize the electric power coming into your home or business as waves that are slightly out of phase. The Power Perfect Box uses proprietary harmonic-resistant power-factor-correction modules to correct the electrical phase, causing the waves to move in synergy. It also protects against surges and increases the capacity of the panel by lowering amperage and temperature. Together this creates less wasted electrical energy while increasing the life of inductive devices — resulting in a lower energy bill and lower equipment maintenance costs.

Capacitors have been around for 250 years. What's different about Power Right's systems is that instead of a traditional capacitor-bank design, we use cutting-edge Harmonic-Resistant power-factor-correction modules to create a compact, integrated energy management system. These smaller, higher-quality components switch on and off in nanoseconds, making them more efficient and effective than traditional capacitors. Because energy usage is regulated by these compact, multi-board smart capacitor banks, home and business owners achieve greater than 95% optimization.

Every Power Perfect Box carries a ten (10)-year manufacturer’s warranty for the original purchaser. If within ten years the unit is damaged by a power surge (excluding lightning) or fails to work, Satic will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace it. The box must be installed by a licensed/insured electrician and registered by the original owner. See the Warranty page for the full terms.

From the Manufacturer

You can use an EMI meter, which plugs into any outlet to measure your dirty-electricity levels. Turn the unit off at the breaker panel and take a reading, then turn it back on and take another — you’ll see the difference in your dirty-electricity levels.

The Gen III Power Perfect Box Super Duty model has two LED lights under the main cover that illuminate when the wire-in EMF filter is working.

Complete installation instructions come with each unit, and a copy can also be viewed at saticusa.com/installation-instructions.

Yes — we recommend a licensed electrician to install the wire-in EMF filters. Many electricians have never heard of dirty electricity or EMI/EMF, so we suggest telling them it is a whole-house surge protector, as most electricians will know what that is and how it works. Installation should not take a licensed electrician more than 30–45 minutes.

If installed correctly, there is nothing in the Power Perfect Box product line that can harm your electrical system. They are UL (Underwriters Laboratory) listed — and would not be if they could harm your electrical system.

Yes! This EMF filter comes with a 10-year product replacement guarantee.

Yes. The Power Perfect Box Wire-In provides immediate benefits through its energy-management and filtering capabilities — voltage regulation, surge protection, harmonics filtering, and EMF reduction — both before and after solar installation. It keeps your electrical system delivering clean, efficient power, so your appliances and electronics run cooler and last longer.

Readings are a snapshot in time. They depend on many factors, including which devices are running or powered on at that moment. Conditions vary with power fluctuations and even with what your neighbours have running, since electrical systems are interconnected. To test effectiveness, measure with the breaker off and then with it on. On rare occasions the unit may have been installed incorrectly — a common issue is the Neutral wire from the box being landed on the Ground bar rather than the Neutral bar in the distribution panel.

We all have different capabilities to sense or feel things. Some people are considered electrohypersensitive (EHS) and are very sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) and the related radiation. Because the Power Perfect Box filters out harmonics and reduces EMF, those individuals can sometimes “feel” the difference.

Smart meters are well known for introducing harmonics into the electrical system by nature, and for monitoring — and potentially controlling — the usage of electronic devices and appliances. Those harmonics create electromagnetic interference (EMI) and fields (EMF), which lead to increased electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Individuals with EHS may be especially affected. Because of the added harmonics and dirty energy, smart meters can also reduce the overall efficiency of electrical systems — many people report significantly higher bills after a smart meter is installed. The Power Perfect Box Wire-In filters and cleans the electricity coming in from your utility or smart meter, as well as the harmonics created within your own system. This improves power quality and also helps protect your privacy: smart meters use harmonics sent across the wires to query smart appliances and report back to the power company, and the Power Perfect Box filters those harmonics out.

No, it doesn’t directly stop radio-frequency waves. But the electrical wiring in your home acts like a large antenna — it receives those waves and propagates them as harmonics throughout your home via the wiring. The Power Perfect Box Wire-In eliminates those harmonics and prevents them from spreading through your wiring, reducing your exposure to EMF and EMR.

Your electrician has likely never seen or tested a Power Perfect Box, and may be thinking of older, capacitor-based systems that aren’t digital in nature. The Power Perfect Box doesn’t use oil-filled capacitors; it uses harmonic rectifiers — technology developed by NASA to filter electricity, improve efficiency, and protect electronics aboard the space shuttle. That technology has been adapted into a modern energy-management system that regulates voltage, filters harmful harmonics, and provides phase correction to make your electricity more efficient. Increased efficiency and reduced consumption typically result in cost savings.

The EMF filter has a mounting bracket on the back that attaches easily to the wall for a quick, simple install.

Yes. When installed correctly and powered on, the EMF filter protects everything on your electrical system from damage caused by a power surge. If a surge is extremely powerful (a very rare occurrence), the unit is designed to self-destruct to stop the surge at the breaker panel. If that happens, we replace the unit at no charge — provided it is under warranty and we have your warranty information on file.

SaticShield has been in business for almost 16 years, with over 100,000 units successfully working for satisfied customers. The units are designed to last much longer than 10 years.

No. You own the Power Perfect Box — it is your personal property.

The Gen III Power Perfect Box Super Duty Wire-In EMF Filter measures 14" × 7.5" × 4".

EMF exposure raises body voltage to unsafe, higher levels. The Power Perfect Box Wire-In EMF Filters reduce EMF and will lower body voltage.
