Abstract
An HVDC transmission has two converters (SR1, SR2). Each converter is connected between an alternating-voltage network (N1, N2) and a d.c. link (L1, L2) common to the converters. At least one converter is connected to its alternating-voltage network without the use of any full transformer, for example directly, or via an inductor or an autotransformer, or via series capacitors. The transmission has a mutual inductor (IB) which is arranged on the d.c. side of the converter and which has two windings (IB1, IB2) which are each connected to a respective one of the d.c. supply lines of the converter and are magnetically coupled to each other, the inductor being designed and connected so as to exhibit a high impedance to ground mode currents.
