Thyristor valves for thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSC) - Electrical testing

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.

Valves à thyristors pour condensateurs série commandés par thyristors (CSCT) - Essai électrique

L'IEC 62823:2015 définit les essais individuels de série et les essais de type sur les valves à thyristors utilisées dans les installations de condensateurs série commandés par thyristors (CSCT) pour transmission de puissance en courant alternatif. Les essais spécifiés dans la présente Norme sont basés sur des valves isolées par l'air fonctionnant en mode capacitif amplifié ou en mode de shuntage.

Tiristorski ventili (elektronke) za zaporedne kondenzatorje s tiristorskim upravljanjem (TCSC) - Električno preskušanje

Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje rutinske in tipske preskuse za tiristorske ventile v inštalacijah zaporednih kondenzatorjev s tiristorskim upravljanjem (TCSC) za prenos izmenične električne energije. Preskusi, navedeni v tem mednarodnem standardu, temeljijo na zračno izoliranih ventilih, ki delujejo v načinu kapacitivnega pospeševanja ali obvoda. Pri drugih vrstah ventilov in pri ventilih, ki delujejo v načinu induktivnega pospeševanja, se naročnik in dobavitelj sama dogovorita o zahtevah za preskuse in merilih sprejemljivosti.

THYRISTOR VALVES FOR THYRISTOR CONTROLLED
SERIES CAPACITORS (TCSC) – ELECTRICAL TESTING
FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62823 has been prepared by subcommittee 22F: Power electronics for electrical transmission and distribution systems, of IEC technical committee 22: Power electronic systems and equipment. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: CDV Report on voting 22F/342/CDV 22F/354A/RVC
