The book was written by Israel's leading specialist in the field of protecting civilian electrical equipment against the effects of an electromagnetic pulse from a high-altitude nuclear explosion (HEMP). In the book a paradoxical situation is described, including expensive fakes, bureaucratic tricks, and simply misconceptions in the field of protecting critical civilian infrastructure from nuclear high-altitude EMP. The book contains criticism of existing trends in the development of the modern electric power industry without taking into account the problem of EMP, as well as negative trends in the problem of protecting critical civilian infrastructure from EMP and explains the author¿s opinion regarding some essential EMP issues, since it differs from the currently accepted view. The book presents a new concept (strategy) for the protection of civilian infrastructure, proposed by the author. In the author's opinion, this new strategy will solve the 50-year-old unsolved problem of protecting the civil infrastructure. The book is divided into two parts: I ¿ for politicians and executives, managers and officials; II ¿ for scientists, engineers and EMP experts.

The book was written by Israel's leading specialist in the field of protecting electrical equipment from the effects of an electromagnetic pulse from a high-altitude nuclear explosion (HEMP). It is the final work that completes the cycle of the author's works published earlier in his articles and books on this topic. This book details completed and tested protection devices, developed by the author on the basis of previous research, which are intended for practical implementation and industrial production. Power transformer protection, diesel-generator, control cabinets, battery chargers, UPS, telecommunication systems and much more. The book is of interest to engineers in the field of electric power, water supply, telecommunications and other critical infrastructure sectors, as well as to industry specialists, lecturers and students of universities and colleges.

This book describes specific technical problems associated with digital relays and suggests ways to solve them. It also covers the construction of functional assemblies of real relays existing in the market, drawbacks and problems of digital relays, and the danger of deliberate electromagnetic effect onto digital relays.

This book describes the arrangement, mode of action, and problems of secondary power supplies of digital protective relays, stationary accumulator batteries, battery chargers, uninterruptible power supplies, and auxiliary AC and DC power supply systems of substations and power plants. It also tackles the issues of insulation monitoring in DC systems, the problems of monitoring the integrity of a substation battery circuit, problems of voltage dips, and a number of other questions that engineers and technicians may face in working with auxiliary power systems.

The modern microprocessor based electronic equipment most vulnerable to Intentional Destructive Electromagnetic Interferences (IDEI) includes High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) in all substation equipment. However, power equipment and especially transformers are also subject to the influence of HEMP.

Discusses general problems related to the structure of overload protection systems in high voltage (HV) electrical installations and introduces a family of fresh devices based on reed switch contacts, solid-state units, hybrid technology, and automatic systems based on these components. The author also discusses applications in power engineering.

This book provides a detailed overview of the vulnerabilities of digital protection relays to natural and intentional destructive impacts. From lightning strikes, electromagnetic fields generated by operating equipment, and issues with control cable shielding to modern technical tools that realize intentional destructive impacts remotely, this first-of-its-kind text covers the latest cyber and electromagnetic threats to digital protection relays. It discusses passive means of protection, such as screened cabinets, filters, cables, special materials, and covers, as well as advanced solutions based on hardware methods.
