BS EN 62823:2015+A1:2020

This standard BS EN 62823:2015+A1:2020 Thyristor valves for thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSC). Electrical testing is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.240.99 Other equipment related to power transmission and distribution networks

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.
