It may be desired to locate a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) converter station in a sensitive electromagnetic environment. Such converter stations inherently generate electromagnetic noise that can interfere with computer and communication systems. Two previous projects studied this problem. In EPRI report EL-3712, measurements of an actual station were compared with scaled measurement made on a reduced scale model of the station. Radio Frequency Computer Analysis Program (RAFCAP), a digital computer model, was developed based on these results. In EPRI report EL-4956, the model was refined by adding frequency-dependent quantities and expanded to include filters. Volume 1 of the present study completes the work of computer modeling by incorporating measurements made on transformers. Volume 2 is a user`s manual for both the DEC VAX and PC versions of the RAFCAP computer program. This abstract is for Volume 2.
