IEC 61000-2-10:20 21定义了高空电磁脉冲（HEMP）传导环境，这是高空核爆炸的后果之一。处理这一主题的人考虑两种情况: 高空核爆炸； 低空核爆炸。 对于民用系统来说，最重要的案例是高空核爆炸。在这种情况下，核爆炸的其他影响，如爆炸、地面冲击、热辐射和核电离辐射不存在于地面。然而，与爆炸相关的电磁脉冲会导致通信、电子和电力系统的中断和损坏，从而扰乱现代社会的稳定。本文件的目的是为传导大麻环境建立一个通用参考，以便选择适用于受害者设备的真实应力，以评估其性能。这第二版取消并取代了1998年出版的第一版。本版构成技术修订版。与上一版相比，此版本包括以下重大技术变更: 增加了一个新的附录E，描述简单线性天线响应的时间波形特征，以帮助开发测试方法； 附录E提供了该波形的技术支持。 提供了使用附录E中列出的波形以及附录C中先前提供的峰值的程序。

IEC 61000-2-10:2021 defines the high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) conducted environment that is one of the consequences of a high-altitude nuclear explosion.Those dealing with this subject consider two cases:

• high-altitude nuclear explosions;
• low-altitude nuclear explosions.

For civil systems the most important case is the high-altitude nuclear explosion. In this case, the other effects of the nuclear explosion such as blast, ground shock, thermal and nuclear ionizing radiation are not present at the ground level. However, the electromagnetic pulse associated with the explosion can cause disruption of, and damage to, communication, electronic and electric power systems thereby upsetting the stability of modern society. The object of this document is to establish a common reference for the conducted HEMP environment in order to select realistic stresses to apply to victim equipment to evaluate their performance. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1998. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

1. a new Annex E has been added to describe the time waveform characteristics of the response of simple linear antennas to aid in the development of test methods;
2. technical support for this waveform is provided in Annex E.
3. a procedure to use the waveforms presented in Annex E along with the peak values previously provided in Annex C is provided.
