The paper deals with the design and operational testing of valves for the SVC to be installed at Kemps Creek Substation in Australia. The most important design principles and features of the thyristor modules are given. Operational tests carried out on the thyristor modules are described; for this test program, noteworthy test circuits have been set up to perform both TSR and TSC fault current tests with high test values and special waveforms. Test results and test circuits are presented.
