DIN IEC/TR 62757 VDE 0553-757:2023-05

Fire prevention measures on converters for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, static var compensators (SVC) and flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and their valve halls

(IEC TR 62757:2015 + AMD1:2019)
Class/Status: Standard, valid
Released: 2023-05
VDE Art. No.: 0500248

IEC TR 62757, which is a technical report, deals with fire prevention measures on converters and 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 use of the utilities and consultants who are responsible for issuing technical specifications for new converter valves and valve halls. It concerns fire incidents in HVDC projects using line commutated converters (LCC) or voltage sourced converter (VSC) technology.
