  • Abstract
    Losses in HVDC thyristor valves are an important economic factor, but their verification by direct electrical measurement is not practical. The origin and method of dissipation of valve losses is described, and alternative methods for valve loss verification are reviewed. The most economic and reliable method appears to be the summation of calculated component losses
