Abstract

A systematic approach is presented to evaluate the effects of high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) signals on the equipment located inside a power generation facility. The technique is based on a combination of practical measurement and simulation efforts in characterizing the radio wave propagation behavior and the device immunity profile. Of particular interest in this work is the estimation of the vulnerability level of equipment that is connected to long cables. As an example application, a detailed study is put forth for one common class of facility equipment, with its frequency- and time-domain HEMP coupling properties investigated as a function of terminal loading condition and cable attachment configuration. Overall, the proposed method can be generalized and applied to other electronic components and systems found in the facility environment.
