Summary

The LCC HVDC converter transformers are connected between the AC system and the HVDC converter. A converter transformer is subjected to voltage and current transients as a result of normal converter operation and the faults on the converter side. This document identifies the voltage and current transients imposed by the converter that must be taken into account by the transformer designer.
