The Impact of Solar Superstorms on Engineering Infrastructure and Mitigation

This Application Note discusses the threat of solar superstorms and geomagnetic disturbances to modern infrastructure, highlighting historic events like the Carrington Event. It emphasizes the need for robust engineering solutions, national policies, and advanced protection technologies, such as HEMP filters, to safeguard power grids and critical systems from electromagnetic and geomagnetic risks.

IEC 61169-49:2014 which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for type SMAA series thread mated coaxial connectors. The connectors are normally used for micro wave applications, connecting with 50 Ohms RF cables or microstrips in an operating range up to 27 GHz. These connectors can be intermated with SMA (IEC 60169-15), 3,5 mm (IEEE 287-2007), 2,92 mm (IEC 61169-35) connectors. It also prescribes mating face dimensions for high performance connectors grade 1, dimensional details of standard test connectors grade 0, for general purpose with gauging information and the mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relative to type SMAA connectors.”
