The most likely method that this device uses is a demagnetization effect, exuded in a single pulse, which would cause high damage to electronics and disable Covenant [[Plasma Weaponry]].  It would do so by disabling their ability to utilize magnetic fields, which shape and contain their projectiles.

The energy disruptor is a UNSC device that was reverse engineered from the Covenant-designed power drain device. It deactivates both standard electronics and the plasma-based weapons and energy shielding of the Covenant which have been noted to be very sturdy pieces of technology by UNSC soldiers.[1] It seems to be easily blocked by walls, as the SPARTAN-III Jonah waited just outside a Covenant barracks while using an energy disruptor; though the Covenant troops outside were affected, his armor remained intact.[2]
