Apparatus for detection of electrical disturbances resulting from electromagnetic pulse and solar storm

An apparatus for detecting transient electromagnetic pulse disturbances associated with at least one of E1 and E2 phases of an electromagnetic pulse, comprising, an electromagnetic pulse sensitive feed comprising an AC mains power supply line for receiving a received signal;

• a pulse detector operatively coupled to the electromagnetic pulse sensitive feed to detect pulse disturbance durations in at least one of microseconds and nanoseconds to output a detected pulse indication signal;
• wherein the pulse detector comprises an activation circuit to convert the detected pulse indication signal to an alert signal;
• and
• an alarm operatively coupled to the activation circuit for indicating on the alert signal;
• and
• wherein the apparatus including the pulse detector and activation circuit is contained in a housing and further comprises at least a pair of AC mains wall plug prongs extending through a side of the housing and operatively coupled to the AC mains power supply line.
