Arcade operators in regions susceptible to coronal mass ejections (CMEs) implement sophisticated protection strategies to maintain machine performance. These solar events can generate electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) and power surges capable of damaging sensitive arcade equipment. Operators install comprehensive surge protection systems at main power inputs and individual machines, utilizing industrial-grade surge suppressors. Additional measures include electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding around critical components and Faraday cage principles for vulnerable circuitry. Many establishments employ uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to handle brief outages and voltage fluctuations. Regular maintenance includes testing ground connections, inspecting shielding integrity, and updating firmware to address electromagnetic compatibility issues. Some operators install real-time solar weather monitoring systems that provide advanced warnings, allowing temporary shutdowns during peak CME activity. These combined approaches help minimize downtime and repair costs while ensuring consistent gaming performance despite space weather challenges.
