Abstract :
The construction and operation of back-to-back converters will be described. Each converter consists of six legs of series connected thyristors. The converters are then used in a pump back scheme wherein ac power is rectified and then inverted back into the ac mains. This allows investigation of the control and operation of high-power series connected thyristor converters. To simulate a HVDC link, the entire pump back system is biased 200 kV dc above ground.
