DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

(5) Examples of embodiments of the invention will be described hereafter with reference to the enclosed drawings:

(6) FIG. 2 shows a basic switch 1 of a device (vivobase) for protection against electric and/or magnetic fields, in particular electromagnetic fields. This type of basic switch 1 is for example provided for use in a house (home) or in a company (corporate).

(7) The switch 1 has four protection elements 3. Each protection element 3 comprises a film capacitor 5 and a diode 7 in this example (these reference numbers are listed only for one protection element for reasons of clarity).

(8) Switch 1 emits the wave packets of the Vivobase elements protective elements 3 into the environment and the electric field of the power line. The wave packets are similar to the natural AIS.

(9) In other words: The switch 1 transmits the interference of the diodes 7 as well as the frequency generated by the resonance characteristics of the capacitor 5 and the diode 7 into the electric field. The combination of the signals equals the electrical discharges, as with sferics.

(10) The basic switch 1 is operated with 230V mains voltage. The voltage is commutated in the function generator 2 and is then re-modulated, so that other frequencies or frequency programs, and also signal forms, can be used. These frequencies and signal forms are then routed to the capacitor/diode combination 3 via an amplification switch.

(11) Shottky diodes 7 are used parallel to the capacitor 5 in this example; two on the voltage carrying conductor and two on the neutral conductor. A glow lamp with a series resistor can be located between the elements 3.

(12) The operating condition of the device is for example read from a tricolour LED.

(13) A further basic switch 1 of a device (vivobase) for protection against electric and/or magnetic fields, in particular electromagnetic fields, is shown in FIG. 3. This type of basic switch 1 is for example provided for mobile use (mobile) or in a vehicle (car).

(14) The voltage supplies are a 3.7V battery or a 12V direct current source. This voltage drives a frequency generator switch 2 and is transmitted to the two protection elements 3 via a cascade, each comprising a capacitor 5 and diode 7.

(15) With this switch 1 for a vivobase mobile a capacitor/diode pair 3 each is located on the neutral conductor and on the phase. The same Shottky diodes as those of the example of FIG. 2 (home) are once again used here, wherein the capacitors 5 are replaced with SMD capacitors 5 with the same characteristics.

(16) The voltage supply can be a lithium ion battery, the voltage of which is inverted, amplified, and then transmitted to the two elements 3. The voltage carrying conductor to one element 3 and the neutral conductor to the other element 3. The switch 1 is operated with 25 Hz.

(17) The switch 1 of the vivobase car variant is as for vivobase mobile, except that the voltage supply is a USB interface instead of the battery.

(18) The mobile variant shown in FIG. 3 is constructed so small that one can embed the circuit board in a wristband, key ring or a dog tag/collar.

(19) In some examples these housing variants have a display. A clock, the condition of the battery and the operating status can be read on the display. Different programs can also be selected, with which the switch 1 is operated with different frequencies. The circuit boards in the respective vivobase corporate or vivobase animal variant are the same as those of vivobase home, only the housings differ.

(20) The operating condition of this car variant can also be readable from a tricolour LED. A corresponding program can be permanently set for this.

All aspects of the methods, devices and systems described in this document can also be combined with each other in multiple ways.
