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.
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.

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
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.
During the Carrington event in the 1800s it was setting railroad ties
on fire as well as burning down telegraph offices
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 !
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
I'm probably already outside of what Michael would like me to be so we
can continue later if you like

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?
Thanks,

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!
