Right, and from my reading there is no strong EMC components in the solar storms. Radios are disrupted, but from ionosphere changes, not from jamming. it is mostly the weird GIE thing which is described as "quasi-DC", and also mentions "millions of amperes" So all that EMC stuff is very important in everyday life (and it killed more than one FET :) ), but seems inapplicable for Carrington-style event. There, it will be all about huge currents and low voltages. If the wire is long enough, TVSs may burn out, capacitors may overvolt and explode, any ESD protection diodes will also get destroyed. Luckily, we don't have a lot of long-distance copper wires connected to sensitive electronics.
