Thyristor valves for thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSC). Electrical testing. | Status: Current

1 Scope This International Standard defines routine and type tests on thyristor valves used in thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) installations for AC power transmission. The tests specified in this International Standard are based on air insulated valves operating in capacitive boost mode or bypass mode. For other types of valve and for a valve operating in inductive boost mode, the test requirements and acceptance criteria are agreed between purchaser and supplier.
