Is it possible to protect something in a Faraday cage with wires coming in and out of it? Much like a server. My theory is that you could have circuit breakers or fuses on each wire at the entry/exit point of the cage. Would this work?

Feedback?

Cheers!

I dont see why It wouldnt, You would just have to replace all the fuses, or flip the circuits after an emp. I work with GFCI's at work(Ground fault circuit interupters) Thats like a circuit breaker in a cord. sometimes with certain power surges or if a tool is going bad, but only at certain times. It will go right through it and blow the connection

Circuit breakers or fuses? - No.
What you'd need would be surge protectors on power leads,
and grounded shields bonded to the cage on data leads.

sorry but no. its a common error, what your talking about is two sides of the same coin. a Faraday cage is used to protect from an electrical discharge like lighting or high voltage sparks. An EMP (eletro-magnecit pulse) is like a high burst of radio waves. true an sudden high voltage discharge will give off an EMP but the Faraday cage will not ground out the EMP wave, like it does with an electrical discharge. the military uses devices that are shielded from most EMPs. but how they are shielded is classified.
