Does that mean that you just put your electronic items in the freezer and they are then automatically shielded from and EMP once it's closed? EMP's are one thing that I am really worrying about as we are apparently overdue for a large one.

Thanks.

I bonded the METAL lid on mine to the Chest section using copper wire ( actuallt antenna coaxial cable braid)

It seems to work OK as mobile telephones inside it do not receive inbound calls, so it keeping Radio waves out to a fairly good extent.

The chest freezer needs to be the sort that has a blastic liner to it. The electical gear stored inside must not be in contact with any metal that commects to the outside skin of the freezer.

Some people recommend that faraday cages should be earthed.....just leace the three pin plug connected ( fuse removed) and it'll do this for you. I don't think the cage should be grounded, so I cut off the power cable entirely.
