<p>Bicycles are EMP resistant transport. Not to belittle or sacred
cow business, but electricity is not a prerequisite for life.
Much of humanity lives their entire lives without it.</p>
<p>Air, Water, Shelter, Food; roughly in that order. That was my
Y2K mantra, and I am not excited about everyone getting freaked
out again about the North Koreans, or whomever the latest boogey
man is. You can always find something to be afraid of, and you
can always find something to be thankful for. Half of the off
grid solar business is electricity, the other half is psychology.

<div>Spent a little time over the last few years trying to study
this, there is dozens of answers to the same question it seems
if you surround it with mesh it depends on the spaces size in
the mesh and it also depends on the frequency of the EMP</div>

<div>I would not bet that just putting a disconnect in the wires
would help but lightning is capable of jumping miles across the
sky I can't imagine that an emp would be any different I'm sure
it could bridge a gap the size of a breaker or disconnect
relatively easily.</div>

<div>During the Carrington event in the 1800s it was setting
railroad ties on fire as well as burning down telegraph offices</div>

<div>I'm afraid the best bet would be a back up inverter and
controller properly wrapped and shielded and make the sign of
the cross and pray for the best !</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And if it's atmospheric like a solar pulse or other challenge
you would want to wait several days before you brought out your
back up stuff because you may get hit again in a matter of hours
or days and it be a shame to get everything possibly working
again and have it wiped out by the 2nd hit</div>

be so we can continue later if you like</div>

<div>In 2013 we were having a discussion of Faraday cages. I
don't think we ever got an answer to the question of whether a
grounded inverter or charge control enclosure would serve as a
Faraday cage? If all external lines were disconnected, would
the grounded metal enclosure prevent damage from an EMP?<br>

<pre>Dear people:
So I have a customer worried about the end of the world as we know it. I've
looked at the HP archives and see comments from a while ago. Other than
screening/boxing components and adding mucho surge protectors, is there
anything else that can be done that might actually work?
Thanks!
