Abstract
A system and method for suppressing EMP-induced voltage surges due to detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude generating an EMP (HEMP) comprising E1, E2, and E3 component pulses. A plurality of shunting assemblies, each including transient voltage suppressors (TVSs), metal oxide varistors (MOVs), gas discharge tubes (GDTs), other mechanical, electrical and ionization discharge devices (IDDs) and combinations thereof of surge limiting technologies, are positioned intermediate a signal stream and a plurality of electronic device ports associated with a plurality of communication channels for sensing upstream of the communication channels an overvoltage associated with each of the E1, E2, and E3 components of the EMP and shunting the over-voltages to predetermined allowable levels within the predetermined time.
