brackets:
(typically derived from the lower of the protective levels of the valve arrester, if any, and the
capacitor arrester)
Replace, in the key U to the equation in item b), the existing brackets by the following new
s2
brackets:
(typically derived from operation with maximum continuous capacitive boost mode operating
point A2 in Figure 5 for TCSC intended for application of power flow control or from the peak
voltage of maximum continuous voltage across the series capacitor for TCSC intended for
application of power oscillations damping or elimination of the risk of sub-synchronous
resonance)

Replace the existing text by the following text:
The test shall comprise three applications of positive polarity and three applications of negative
polarity lightning impulse voltages between the main terminals, which are in common, and valve
enclosure.
A standard lightning impulse voltage waveshape in accordance with IEC 60060-1 shall be used.
The test voltage shall be selected in accordance with the insulation co-ordination of the TCSC
installation.
NOTE To use standard lightning impulse withstand voltage according to IEC 60071-1, based on the rated TCSC
voltage, U , for testing is an alternative. However, this alternative does not take the TCSC capacitor surge arrester
N
or TCSC valve surge arrester, if any, protection into consideration and applies an unrealistic higher voltage on the
supporting structure. The choice of this alternative is subjected to agreement of the valve supplier.
