Abstract:
A system and method for suppressing EMP-induced electrical system voltage surges due to detonation of a nuclear weapon, the EMP comprising E1, E2, and E3 component pulses. A plurality of shunting assemblies, each including MOVs, gas discharge tubes, other mechanical, electrical and ionization discharge devices and combinations thereof, detect and react to the overvoltage according to timing parameters associated with each of the E1, E2, and E3 components and shunt the overvoltage to decrease to under a predetermined allowable level.

Claim (Index 13):
A surge suppression system for suppressing an electrical surge induced by a natural electromagnetic pulse (\u201cEMP\u201d), comprising:\n a first shunting assembly including MOVs, gas discharge tubes, other mechanical, electrical and ionization discharge devices and combinations thereof that is operable to detect a first overvoltage exceeding a first E1 predetermined threshold level induced in an electrical system by an E1 component pulse; wherein said first shunting device is operable to shunt said first overvoltage to decrease the level of said first overvoltage to a second E1 predetermined threshold level within less than about one nanosecond after detection of said first overvoltage; a second shunting assembly including MOVs, gas discharge tubes, other mechanical, electrical and ionization discharge devices and combinations thereof that is operable to detect a second overvoltage exceeding a first E2 predetermined threshold level induced in an electrical system by an E2 component pulse; wherein said second shunting device is operable to shunt said second overvoltage to decrease the level of said second overvoltage to a second E2 predetermined threshold level; a third shunting assembly including MOVs, gas discharge tubes, other mechanical, electrical and ionization discharge devices and combinations thereof that is operable to detect a third overvoltage exceeding a first E3 predetermined threshold level induced in an electrical system by an E3 component pulse; wherein said third shunting device is operable to shunt said third overvoltage to decrease the level of said third overvoltage to a second E3 predetermined threshold level.
