HVDC System

The use of HVDC systems is in constant evolution for long distance high voltage electric lines. The reduction of electric losses and its competitive cost in terms of infrastructure, installation and maintenance are some of its numerous advantages. To name others, HVDC systems do not require frequency regulations nor reactive power compensations. Medium and high voltage capacitors are used to perform voltage compensation, high frequency filtering and indirectly to strengthen the circuit breakers capability. Our capacitors (or more sophisticated systems including resistors) for HVDC systems are mainly designed for 3 applications : Filtering, DC Bypass and Thyristor Valve whose specifications are described in the sections below.

STARRTONE with CONDIS

Starrtone company is Switzerland CONDIS SA high voltage capacitor products in mainland China only authorized sales agents.

Over the last hundred years, CONDIS has been providing the grid with the most innovative, efficient and reliable medium and high-voltage products and solutions. Our state-of-the-art capacitors ensure voltage distribution uniformity, breaking power increase and precise voltage measurement.

Filter Capacitors

AC- or DC-filter Capacitors, connected line-to-ground, are intended to filter high frequency components generated by the power electronic converters. Filter Capacitors are compliant with the standard IEC 60358-3 and are available with either a porcelain or a composite insulator that is in full compliance with IEC 60815. The Filter Capacitors are designed for a wide [...]

CR/R Grading Product for DC Bypass

RC-Grading Capacitors ensure the uniform distribution of DC voltage across the breaking chambers during switching operations. CONDIS is able to provide, in a single unit, a combined solution including both resistance and capacitance, easing the installation and minimizing the volume. They are installed on high voltage bypass multi-chamber Circuit Breakers. RC-grading capacitors are available with [...]

Thyristor Valve Capacitors

The Thyristor Valve Capacitor (or valve section capacitor) is fitted on Thyristor Valves for voltage conversion . Its function is to assist the system with the filtering of high frequency transient voltages produced during the transformation of the AC voltage to the DC voltage or vice-versa. The Thyristor Valve capacitor is connected in parallel with […]
