Electrical Panel Magnetic Shielding | Breaker Box EMF Protection

Electrical Panel & Breaker Box Magnetic Shielding Solutions

Electrical panels and breaker boxes can generate measurable low-frequency magnetic fields (60 Hz), particularly when installed adjacent to bedrooms, living areas, offices, or other frequently occupied spaces.

Unlike RF radiation, these extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields cannot be reduced using standard shielding paints or conductive fabrics. Effective mitigation requires specialized high-permeability magnetic shielding materials specifically engineered for low-frequency field attenuation.

Our electrical panel magnetic shielding solutions are designed to help reduce magnetic field exposure from:

• Breaker boxes

• Main electrical service panels

• Subpanels

• High-load branch circuits and wiring runs

Recommended Material: MagInduct AF2

MagInduct AF2 is our recommended solution for shielding low-frequency magnetic fields near electrical infrastructure. It is:

• Highly effective against ELF / 60 Hz magnetic fields

• Fire-resistant and non-corrosive

• Used in professional, commercial, and medical environments worldwide

• Suitable for installation behind walls adjacent to electrical panels

Proper shielding design depends on field strength, distance, and installation configuration.

Measure Before You Shield

Before installing magnetic shielding, we recommend measuring field levels using a reliable meter such as the LATNEX® AF-5000 EMF Meter. Confirming magnetic field intensity helps determine whether mitigation is necessary and ensures proper material selection.

If a breaker panel is located directly behind a bed, workstation, or other high-occupancy area, this category provides the appropriate magnetic shielding materials for low-frequency field reduction.
