This standard applies to thyristor valves with metal oxide surge arresters directly connected
between the valve terminals, for use in a line commutated converter for high voltage d.c. power
transmission or as part of a back-to-back link. It is restricted to electrical type and production
tests.
The tests specified in this standard are based on air insulated valves. For other types of
valves, the test requirements and acceptance criteria must be agreed.
