A 5-kV 300-A variable dc source is described. This source will be used to determine the short- circuit impedances of high voltage direct current (HVDC) links. The converter is composed of four eight-thyristor bridges connected in series in a 24-pulse arrangement. The triggering pulses are transmitted to the thyristors by fiber optic cables.
