Electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) are powerful bursts of energy that can damage or destroy electronic devices. EMPs can be caused by natural events, such as lightning strikes, or by man-made events, such as nuclear explosions. Shielding electronics from EMPs is important for protecting critical infrastructure, such as power grids, communications networks, and military systems.
There are a number of different ways to shield electronics from EMPs. One common method is to use a Faraday cage. A Faraday cage is a metal enclosure that surrounds the electronic device. The metal cage blocks the EMP from reaching the device inside. Another method of shielding electronics from EMPs is to use surge protectors. Surge protectors are devices that divert excess voltage away from the electronic device. This can help to protect the device from damage caused by EMPs.
