The '''power drain''' is a combat support device designed and developed by the [[Covenant]] for its infantry forces. The equipment has several colloquial nicknames among [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel, including "'''Draino'''" and "'''Drainer'''".{{Ref/Reuse| | The '''power drain''' is a combat support device designed and developed by the [[Covenant]] for its infantry forces.

The power drain is a roughly spherical device massing {{Convert|11.2|lb|kg|disp=flip|sp=us}}. When activated, the device emits a blue [[electromagnetic pulse]] field for around 6.5 seconds, after which the device self-destructs in a small explosion. The EMP is used to short out the electrical systems of any equipment caught within range, including [[energy shielding]] and light vehicles. During its activation, two cylindrical emitters are extruded from the sides of the sphere.{{Ref/Reuse| | The power drain is a roughly spherical device massing {{Convert|11.2|lb|kg|disp=flip|sp=us}}.

The power drain has a visual resemblance to the [[flare]] and [[radar jammer]] equipment also developed by the Covenant, save for its blue colouration. The Flare, developed by the [[Jiralhanae]], was based on the same technology as the power drain and radar jammer.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=341}} | The power drain has a visual resemblance to the [[flare]] and [[radar jammer]] equipment also developed by the Covenant, save for its blue colouration.
