Annotation The issue of protecting electronic equipment from the electromagnetic pulse of a high-altitude nuclear explosion is very relevant and important for the power industry. Current knowledge about individual HEMP protection elements, their specifications and application features is very important, but, at the same time, limited to ensure efficient protection of power … [Read more...]
Is Electric Equipment Grounding the Basic Protection Means Against HEMP?
Abstract The article discusses the differences between the electromagnetic pulses at lightning (LEMP) and at high altitude nuclear explosion (NEMP or HEMP). The article also shows that these differences do not allow to transfer LEMP experience on to NEMP. The author questions the effectiveness of grounding of electronic equipment as the main protection principle against … [Read more...]
