What is the Difference Between the NCB Plug and NCB Pro?Updated 8 days ago

Both devices are cutting-edge Nuisance Current Blockers (NCB), designed to make body grounding safer during the use of grounding mats, sheets, or EMF canopies. Here’s how they differ:



1. Installation & Coverage

  • NCB Plug

    • Plugs directly into a wall outlet.

    • You then plug your grounding product into it.

    • Designed for single-outlet use—perfect for individual grounding items like one mat or sheet.

  • NCB Pro

    • Installed professionally into your home’s grounding circuit — typically at the main breaker panel or a central grounding point.

    • Provides whole-circuit protection, securing multiple outlets and grounding paths at once.



2. Electromagnetic Protection

Both offer robust protection by using internal resistors that isolate harmful currents:

  • Both NCB Plug and Pro:

    • Eliminate contact current

    • Filter dirty electricity (high-frequency transients)

    • Reduce electric field EMF

    • Maintain a safe ground-fault path for safety  

  • NCB Pro takes it further by also:

    • Eliminating unwanted magnetic fields from the entire grounding circuit — a deeper layer of EMF protection.



3. Use Case & Availability

  • NCB Plug

    • Excellent for targeted personal use (e.g., one grounding mat or canopy).

    • Plug-and-play: no electrician needed.

    • Available only in USA and Canada.

  • NCB Pro

    • Ideal for whole-home or multi-outlet grounding setups (e.g., canopy plus mats in multiple rooms).

    • Requires professional installation.

    • Suitable for international use and larger installations.
