Abstract
An apparatus detects complex time-variant electromagnetic disturbances resulting from a high-altitude nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or solar storm. The device relies on a circuit () to monitor the input power lines () for sustained conducted electrical disturbances associated with the E3 phase of an EMP or solar storm. A separate circuit () monitors the power lines and the ambient environment () for transient electromagnetic pulse disturbances associated with the E1 and E2 phases of an EMP. When sustained electrical disturbances or transient electromagnetic pulse disturbances are detected, the apparatus provides a visual alarm (), audible alarm (), and discrete indication signal () that can be used to disconnect () or redirect the flow of electrical power.
