The radar in the nose of a fighter plane would cook you like a microwave if you stood in front of it at full power.
At just the right angle this radar could cause power problems if the beam from the radar was lined up with the power lines over a distance. antenna
effect.
EMP pulse is a microwave pulse. Power lines act as antennas for EMP pulses and can cause damage to electronics miles away from the pulse area.
More and more power systems are using solid-state electronics to control the power switches and other systems.
Solid-state electronics are susceptible to microwave interference.
Microwaves can travel long distances over power lines.
