Description

BS PD IEC/TR 62757:2015, which is a technical report, deals with fire prevention measures on convertersand their valve halls for high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, static VAR compensators(SVC) and flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). It is intended to be primarily for the useof the utilities and consultants who are responsible for issuing technical specifications for newconverter valves and valve halls. It concerns fire incidents in HVDC projects using linecommutated converters (LCC) or voltage sourced converter (VSC) technology and it is fromthese projects that most examples of fires and fire incidents are taken. This technical reportalso addresses converter valves and valve halls for SVC and FACTS.

This technical report provides general recommendations to be considered while preparingspecifications for these systems. Specific requirements for a particular project need to beclearly specified and mutually agreed upon between the supplier and the purchaser.
