There was an hour long blackout in Sweden, and some satellites were damaged, but that was about it. Since most of Germany is above 47°N, you would be able to see auroras caused by even weaker storms.

This was addressed after 2000. EMP attack or CMEs are inevitable. It would cost a few billion to be prepared for the aftermath, but they still can’t get the funding to do it. We can either harden the electrical grid against these things (unlikely to accomplish) or have sufficient spares we can expect to be taken out to restore power within days. Most smaller-scale transformers already exist in supply as spare parts. However, some of the largest ones have no spares. A new one is manufactured when needed. Now, if an EMP or CME took these large ones out, no power and it would take MONTHS to make just one and transport it for installation. Millions would die from our electricity-dependent technology not working. The plan being promoted is to have spares manufactured and stored on-site for quick installation as needed...replace each one as it’s put into service.

If your system is connected to the grid, then yes, do it ASAP. If it's independent of the grid, then you probably don't need to worry. The threat to you comes from the long power lines of the grid, not from the short lines of a local installation. Most satellites can survive simply because they're small. If I get advance notice of a thunderstorm I disconnect my router from (long overhead) mains and phone line. It's been fried twice before I started doing this. The energy concentration of either lightning or a Carrington event is not enough to damage the router if it's not connected. Well OK, except if thé lightning happens to pick my house.....

If you are tied to the grid with your solar, ask your utility about your transformer. If it is single phase with neutral return and the neutral is grounded at the pole or pad, you may have a concern. These are most often 7200 volt single bushing primary transformers. For isolation, request a 2 bushing transformer for 12800 volt phase to phase primary. A delta primary has no neutral or ground connection and thus have no DC path providing proper isolation. The center of the secondary is neutral bonded for local are grounding and does not carry DC currents or voltage from high earth current. If your facility is fed with a pad mounted transformer, read the name plate to find the type. If you are fed from a utility pole transformer, count the number of HV bushings on top. You want a transformer with 2 bushings connected to phase to phase on a 3 phase system, not a single hot phase and neutral feeding the transformer. A one bushing transformer may have fairly high neutral current on the transformer ground. Surge protection is for lighting strikes and other transient events, not a sustained DC neutral current in your local utility transformer.

@isettech

3 жыл бұрын

@@raykent3211 For lightning protection of your router, check the grounding of the phone system interface. Is it bonded to the utility service and the plumbing? Bonding all three provides good protection from transient spikes. The surge protection of the phone line should be tied to the main grounding system for the utility to prevent a high differential voltage between phone lines and utility power ground. For more info on the subject and the regulations, see this article. www.bicsi.org/docs/default-source/conference-presentations/2017-mea-uae/grounding-and-bonding.pdf?sfvrsn=3112558d_2

And don't forget there can be stronger than Carrington Event magnitude, we only have a few hundred years of data. There's info coming out that our star is a long recurrent micro-nova star, meaning we may get a micro-nova every few tens of thousands of years. What happens when the Earth's magnetic field is weakened, Moon? Did you know the strength is 80% baseline of what it used to be for the past thousand years? The magnetic field is weakening at a rate of 5% per decade currently, and due to weaken at a faster rate as time goes. And what about the poles beginning their trek into reversal? The reversal transit is speeding up and the poles will reverse in the next 100-200 years. Meaning the magnetic field will be severely weakened. Not only this, when a strong CME hits it actually increases the speed of Earth's magnetic reversal (see the Carrington Event 1859, this is the year the Magnetic North pole began its immediate reversal direction).

Source, different. Result, the same, you're screwed.

This is the first video I have seen on the subject who got the effect on power grids right: it is saturation of the transformers that does the damage. Saturation occurs in iron core transformers when added current no longer makes meaningful increase in the magnetic flux in the core. When that point is reached the transformer no longer presents a high impedance to the source, so current increases radically. The resulting heating of the wires in the transformer damages the insulation. Electric transmission lines have protection systems, of course, to protect against faults. If a phase shorts to ground, or a pair of phases short together, the voltage and current sensors report to the protection equipment and let it decide how far away the fault is. Saturation current bypasses them because the fault is on the wrong side of the sensors. At the other end of the line the DC current is having the same effect. If the line is powered down or is carrying relatively little current nothing bad happens. (Retired from a Fortune 100 electric utility a couple years ago; supporting protective relaying was the main reason I had to sleep with a duty phone by my head.)

I really like the visualizations! Not just the SOHO timelapses, but the ones done to show magnetic impacts etc, lots of really good ones!

Very nice and informative. Thank you

Ahh yes, one of the few squares we haven't filled in for the 2020 Bingo card..... yet.

Thanks for the good report. As regards the risk factor of a big solar flare, I think you should take into consideration the fact that earth’s magnetic field is currently much weaker than it was by end of 19th century and even the 20th century. We are much more vulnerable now due to the magnetic pole changes.

I have to echo that. Our magnetosphere currently is down about 20% and is accelerating it's decline. Also, our magnetic poles are moving and we are headed for a magnetic excursion or reversal. YOU SHOULD HAVE COVERED THIS!!!

Thank you for uploading.

Well done on the graphics!

Oh! Wait! Like a micro nova? A cyclic event of the Sun we are due for again? That will have two parts to it. First is the massive radiation of the explosion from the surface of the sun. Whoever is facing it gets irradiated. The whami comes 18 hours later when the shock wave arrives at Earth. The dust and debris fly by stripping the upper atmosphere and dropping the pressure on the exposed surface causing fires and sudden freeze. I hope I'm dead when that happens.

Well explained thank you

Thank you for information.

When I was in college, my astronomy professor told us about how he used to see, every once in a while, Auroras in Central Florida. They would be extremely faint but they were still visible.

There are very, very few places left in the Eastern USA where the night sky isn't polluted with lights from houses, companies, towns and cities. Depending on how long ago that was, your professor may have lived in such an area. Those who have never spent the nights very far from civilization will never know all they are missing in the night skies.

Geez, what a fascinating video. Fantastic images of the Sun and the MCE's. I've known and understand the physics involved, being a physicist, but the motion pictures or CG images really brought the theories and science together for the masses. Good job Curious Droid.

Hi! GMT. Prepare now, while we still have time. Make a rocket stove. We did. Very cheap. Buy some bricks from Bunnings then get on youtube and watch some videos. Really easy. The one we built works like a charm and you only need small bits of branches and twigs to get a roaring fire, if you've built it to specification. Also buy candles, and oil lamps, or buy a metal tool box and put your batteries and torches in there to shield them damage. Best of luck.

Some freeze dried food lasts 25-30 years. It's just nice to have it handy just in case. I live in Alaska and avalanches can easily trap us in our little town or knock out the power for days or weeks. Most people here are decently well prepared for these sorts of things, but if you're in an Urban area.....damn dude you'd be in a bad situation.

Great video Paul. I must admit that when I saw the title of this video I didn't feel very attracted to the topic and ended clicking on it without much enthusiasm. However, as I went on watching I got more and more fascinated thanks to your excellent content creating skills. Great job!

Extremely well done.

Not having Smartphones is not a very good metric of the impact of such an event. You have to look at the growth of cloud services from 2012 to today, and it's massive. That's where industry data is at, and if data centers go down, that means no orders, no shipments, no production. I've dealt with companies that lost their data, and it's a total nightmare. If everyone looses their data, that's a doomsday scenario. Any good business must have procedures in place to deal with partial and total loss of their IT infrastructure. This might seem a huge task, but you might print and preserve the current situation once a while (financial situation, all contacts and addresses, production status, etc) and be much better off. You don't want to do it too often, because it's lengthy and costly, but you want to do it at least once or twice a year if you don't wish to be back at square zero with your business when it happens. Because it will eventually happen

Oh so this is what’s happening in August.

Preparedness is a tradeoff of costs: How expensive is it to be prepared considering the frequency of the event vs. how expensive it is to deal with the aftermath. I hope people in positions of responsibility for this specific event are doing their math right, but regardless of that history shows we are better at responding reactively than proactively, to put it nicely.

Another great video

Excellent product, clear explanations of complex topics and natural occurrences totally out of the nands of mankind. Many thanks, another plus for this item is the lack of ridiculous music which adorns so many technical reports.
