Abstract: High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) is a challenging agent aimed to destroy the most critical types of electric equipment in the most important components of national infrastructure. The article examines the measures to keep the substation direct current auxiliary power system (DCAPS) running upon HEMP, and describes the method to effectively protect the DCAPS operating equipment, using special elements and redundant power supplies based on diesel generators and compact DC power supplies.
Keywords: Power Substation, Electromagnetic Pulse, HEMP, Direct Current Auxiliary Power System.
