ABSTRACT:
A polyphase electric power distribution system is protected from the effects of geomagnetic storms by countering the difference of potential between spaced grounding points in the system, and or by altering the magnetic circuits of transformers in the system to reduce half-cycle saturation and associated high peak currents.
