4 ESS (Trademark) Switch Electromagnetic Pulse Assessment. Volume 2. Task 3 Laboratory Testing of the 4 ESS Switch

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA230570 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The 4ESS Switch was subjected to test sequences representative of electromagnetic stresses following a high-altitude nuclear blast. These laboratory tests revealed some potential equipment sensitivities requiring only minor modifications. With these modifications implemented, the 4 ESS Switch demonstrated considerable robustness in servicing calls following current injection stress.
