Abstract
An electrical assembly including a power converter having an AC side and a DC side, the AC side for connection to an AC network; at least one power transmission medium connected to the DC side of the power converter; a dynamic braking system operably connected to the power transmission medium, the dynamic braking system including a dynamic braking control unit programmed to selectively control activation of the dynamic braking system to carry out a dynamic braking operation; a monitoring unit for monitoring an electrical parameter of the AC network; and a processing unit programmed to determine an operating state of the AC network from the monitored electrical parameter, wherein the dynamic braking control unit is programmed to be responsive to the determined operating state of the AC network by configuring the dynamic braking system to be activatable.
