The moment the electricity fluctuate too low or too high it shuts down. [/quote] Yep its the [b]big power transformers[/b] on the electricity grids that would be at risk from a major CME because they are grounded and its the high ground currents from major CMEs that can overload transformers and cause them to fail. The coils inside can even melt, not an quick thing to fix! [/quote] AFAIK.. made only in china and a 5 year backlog. ~ [/quote]
