OK. Then the power companies should take the necessary preventive measures. They sure won't make any money in an EMP blackout.

I don't think we make any of the big transformers here that would be required. It would be a massive project just to acquire the transformers, let alone get them installed. Maybe we need to have a manhattan project for the transformers?

manhattan project for the transformers

The rise time of the E3 (nuclear or solar source) pulse is incredibly slow, like seconds. A guy with a hand switch could cut the connection. Needless to say any type of mechanical relay would work. A semiconductor switch would be fine. The only project needed is surge protection and we know how to do that.
