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.
Comparison at a Glance
Feature | NCB Plug | NCB Pro |
---|---|---|
Installation | Simple, plug-and-use | Requires professional wiring into grounding circuit |
Coverage | Single outlet | Entire grounding branch or panel |
Magnetic field reduction | Limited to outlet level | Full circuit magnetic field elimination |
Safety for grounding products | Yes (resistor + ground-fault) | Yes, with enhanced full-circuit coverage |
Availability | USA & Canada | Broader/global usage, for professional setups |
Which One Should You Choose?
NCB Plug → Best for basic, personal setups using relative few grounding devices.
NCB Pro → Ideal when you want full-home grounding protection, or if your installation uses multiple grounding components across rooms.
