This International Standard applies to self-commutated converter valves@ for use in a three-phase bridge voltage sourced converter (VSC) 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.
