Abstract
Method of taking a pole of high-voltage d-c transmission system (HVDCTS) out of service, having a rectifier station connected to a first three-phase network and an inverter station connected to a second three-phase network, two d-c lines connected from one station to the other, each station being divided into halves, the station halves of each station being connected together on one side to a station center grounding electrode, the other side of each station being connectible to the positive d-c line so as to form a positive pole, and to the negative d-c line so as to form a negative pole, and residual-current switching means for taking a pole out of service, which includes grounding the station pole through a pole grounding switch which is spaced from the station center grounding electrode, and subsequently commutating a partial fault current of other poles, occurring from the pole being taken out of service, into the station center grounding electrode by the residual-current switch in the form of a circuit breaker.
