Abstract
Two 20-kV, 36-MW converters, one used as a rectifier and the other as an inverter in a pump-back configuration, have been operated successfully demonstrating the feasibility of SCRs for high-voltage high-current applications. Effects of commutation transients within the converters and on other apparatus have been thoroughly explored and analyzed.
