At 712, the AVM controller may determine that the voltage-reduction reaction time is greater than an impending time interval before the inferred power surge is likely to occur. It is noteworthy that this step is implied for a real-time detection of a power surge. In this example, the AVM controller may transmit a power cut-off control signal to the DC power source. The power cut-off control signal may cause the DC power source to cease power transmissions. Doing so may protect the hardware and software elements of the power modification system, which includes the baseband unit, RRU, and RF antennas from any prospective or continued damage due to the power surge.
