It is necessary to distinguish carefully between disturbance levels that may prevent correct operation and disturbance levels that can cause damage to equipment that is not powered. The latter levels are very much higher than the former. Experience shows that damage due to EM disturbances in transit is EXTREMELY rare. If it were not, there would be a very large number of reports, because of the implications. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
