scope:
The aim of this part of IEC 61000 is to provide guidance on how
to protect the distributed infrastructure (power,
telecommunications, transportation and pipeline networks, etc.)
from the threat of a high altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP). In
order to accomplish this goal, it is necessary to describe the
special aspects of the HEMP threat to electrical/electroni
This publication provides general information concerning the disturbance levels and protection methods for all types of distributed infrastructures. Due to its importance to all other parts of the infrastructure, the distributed electric power system (power substations, generation plants and control centres) and its protection are described in more detail. While the telecommunication system is also critical to most of the other distributed infrastructures, the protection of the telecommunication network from HEMP and other electromagnetic threats is covered by the work done by ITU-T.
