Electricfag checking in. For one surge to suddenly drop a grid is suspect. There are primary relay protections, backups and backups to backups in place to isolate damage and widespread outages. Think emp, massive concentrated solar flare or precision targeted strike at just the right time/location. Rarely is human error the cause of something like this, save for 2003 U.S. northeast blackout.
I’m highly suspicious given the region affected and current events. Very dasting indeed.
is there some central command where they could literally just turn it off? Not even central, at multiple stations. Weve seen what these people do to rig our elections, should be even easier for them to pull that off.
i have an EE degree, i design medical devices, tbh i regret not getting more trade skills cause theres a yuge difference in tooling and SOP when dealing with processors and gawd forbid 15v com buses then real power. I suppose when this shit goes down i can fix led lighting and anything running off of car batteries :P Of course im not that inept but its one thing to "know" have to do something and being experienced in it, when SHTF.

Absolutely, it can be done remotely at a central location (grid operations control room) OR orchestrated in person at key locations

You'll be worth your weight in gold. Would it really matter though in the case of an EMP, when all electronics are fried?
See my post below yours. Are you working with pacers and defibrillators?
