Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The problem of Intentional Destructive Electromagnetic Impacts (IDEI) on power systems has become recently more and more
actual in connection with two modern trends: the extension of using microelectronics and microprocessor-based devices and systems in electric power industry – on the one hand, and the intensive design of special equipment for distance destruction of electronic devices and systems – with another. The most powerful method for such destruction is the High-altitude Electromagnetic
Pulse (HEMP) as a result of a high-altitude nuclear explosion. The history of experimental high-altitude nuclear explosions has
been known now for over half a century. During this time quite a few scientific articles and books presenting details of this phenomenon and measures of protection from it have been published. In view of this fact, it would be possible to assume that the
problem of protection against HEMP has been solved for a long time and modern power systems are well protected from this phenomenon. However the research performed by the author displays that actually it has not and for the past decades in one country
of the world, at least, no practical measures have been taken for the protection of the national infrastructures against HEMP and
all action has been restricted only to writing reports, recommendations and guidelines. In the paper the reasons for such situation
(in particular, political and military aspects of the problem) are analyzed. |
