Особенности испытания электронного оборудования энергосистем на устойчивость к электромагнитному импульсу ядерного взрыва

Abstract

Devastating effect of the electromagnetic impulse generated by a high-altitude nuclear explosion (HANE) on electronic equipment is a well-known fact, and all military-purpose equipment is fitted with efficient protection from such impact. However, the electromagnetic impulse from a nuclear explosion has a devastating effect not only on military equipment, but also on all electronic devices that are at present intensely used in the electric power industry, which constitutes the basis of the country’s infrastructure. Protection of power system electronic equipment from a nuclear explosion electromagnetic impulse, a factor able to upset its normal operability or even completely knock it out of action, has recently become of special importance. The peculiarities of testing power system electronic equipment for stability to a nuclear explosion electromagnetic impulse are considered, and matters concerned with selecting the aim of such tests, testing procedure, and test impulse parameters are discussed.
