   This isn't true. Your electronics might be fried by a flare if they were in space, but the geomagnetic field changes due to a flare will not induce currents in any conductor shorter than several tens of kilometers. I think you are thin

   The problem is not directly with the wires, its the addition of the quasi-DC induced currents in an AC transformer. Even the addition of a small DC current can lead to unwanted harmonics or in extreme cases spot heating (this is what you th

   I think you have it the wrong way around. Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are more prevalent in high-voltage wires because they have low DC resistance. The longer a line, the larger the induced voltage. High-voltage lines can extend
