Abstract: Lately, the problems associated with the impact of an electromagnetic pulse of a high-altitude nuclear explosion (HEMP) on electronic and electric equipment have been debated a great deal in special technical literature. For more than a decade, dozens of government and military organizations in the US and Europe have been working intensively on this problem producing detailed bulky reports. However, so far the majority of engineers working in various civilian industries and, primarily, in the electric power industry, disregard this topic since they either are ignorant of HEMP or know it by hearsay. To change this situation, the author of this article decided to familiarize the engineers (primarily in the electrical power sector) with a contemporary view of HEMP.
Keywords: Electromagnetic pulse, HEMP, High-altitude Nuclear Explosion.
