The '''power drain''' is a combat support device used by the [[Covenant]]'s [[Jiralhanae]] forces. It creates a short-range electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effect, which interferes with all electronic equipment within the radius of the pulse. It is primarily designed to interfere with common varieties of energy shielding and the electrical components of [[vehicle]]s. After a short time, the device overheats and explodes, which can wound or kill combatants in its resulting explosion.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/content.aspx?link=h3betaEquipment Bungie.net's review of ''Halo 3 Beta'' equipment]</ref>The electricity it produces can also cause significant harm to unshielded biological targets. Power drains saw usage by [[Jiralhanae]] during the last few months of the [[Human-Covenant War]], both during the [[Battle of Mombasa]] and the [[Battle of Installation 00]].
