Abstract
The problem of Intentional Destructive Electromagnetic Impacts (IDEI) on power systems becomes recently more and more actual in connection with two modern trends: an extending application of microelectronics and microprocessor-based devices and systems in electric power industry - on the one hand, and intensive designs 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 high-altitude nuclear explosion. The history of experimental high-altitude nuclear explosions includes already half a century. During this time many tens the scientific articles and books in details presenting 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 for a long time is solved and modern power systems are well protected from this phenomenon. The research performed by the author, displays, that actually it not and for the last decades in one country of the world is not undertaken any practical measures on protection of national infrastructures against HEMP and all is restricted only to writing of reports, recommendations and guidelines. In the paper the reasons for such situation (in particular, political and military aspects of the problem) are analyzed.

Проблема преднамеренных электромагнитных деструктивных воздействий (ПЭДВ) на электроэнергетические системы становится в последнее время все более актуальной в связи с двумя современными тенденциями: расширяющимся применением микроэлектроники и микропроцессорной техники в электроэнергетике – с одной стороны, и интенсивными разработками средств дистанционного поражения электронной аппаратуры – с другой

С учетом этого можно было бы предположить, что проблема защиты от ЭМИ ЯВ давно решена и современные электроэнергетические системы хорошо защищены от этого явления.

In view of this fact, it would be possible to assume, that the problem of protection against HEMP for a long time is solved and modern power systems are well protected from this phenomenon.
