Does the NCB Plug Require Power to Function?Updated 2 months ago

The NCB Plug does not require electrical power to work. It must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet, but it does not consume electricity or draw current.


  • The NCB Plug is a passive device designed to enhance the safety and effectiveness of your grounding setup.

  • It does not require power to function. There is no electricity drawn, and it does not consume any energy.

  • However, the NCB Plug must be plugged into a grounded three-prong outlet to work correctly. This outlet provides a path to ground, which the NCB uses to filter out unwanted current and dirty electricity.

  • The NCB Plug contains internal components that block harmful contact current and dirty electricity from traveling along the grounding wire, while still allowing grounding benefits to pass through.

  • It also preserves a fault path to ground, which is important for safety in case of an electrical malfunction.

  • The outlet does not need to be switched on or supplying active power for the NCB Plug to do its job. The grounding connection alone is sufficient.


Additional Questions

Q: Can I use the NCB Plug in a power strip or surge protector?
A: Yes, as long as the strip is properly grounded. However, plugging directly into a grounded wall outlet is best for optimal performance.
