1 Scope
Add, after the first paragraph, the following two paragraphs:
The scope of this standard includes the electrical type and production tests of dynamic
braking valves which may be used in some HVDC schemes for d.c. overvoltage limitation.
This standard can be used as a guide for testing of STATCOM valves.

and the supplier” so that the last sentence reads as follows:
For other types of valves, the test requirements and acceptance criteria should be agreed
between the purchaser and the supplier.

3.2 Power semiconductor terms
Replace the existing introductory text, terms and definitions by the following new terms and
definitions:
3.2.1
turn-off semiconductor device
controllable semiconductor device which may be turned on and off by a control signal, for
example an IGBT
NOTE There are several types of turn-off semiconductor devices which can be used in VSC converters for HVDC.
For convenience, the term IGBT is used throughout this standard to refer to the main turn-off semiconductor device.
However, the standard is equally applicable to other types of turn-off semiconductor devices.
3.2.2
insulated gate bipolar transistor
IGBT
turn-off semiconductor device with three terminals: a gate terminal (G) and two load terminals
emitter (E) and collector (C)
NOTE By applying appropriate gate to emitter voltages, the load current can be controlled, i.e. turned on and
turned off.
3.2.3
free-wheeling diode
FWD
power semiconductor device with diode characteristic
NOTE 1 A FWD has two terminals: an anode (A) and a cathode (K). The current through FWDs is in the opposite
direction to the IGBT current.
NOTE 2 FWDs are characterized by the capability to cope with high rates of decrease of current caused by the
switching behaviour of the IGBT.
3.2.4
IGBT-diode pair
arrangement of IGBT and FWD connected in inverse parallel
3.3 Operating states
Replace the existing title, terms and definitions by the following new title, terms and
definitions.
3.3 Operating states of converter
3.3.1
blocking state
condition of the converter, in which a turn-off signal is applied continuously to all IGBTs of the
converter
NOTE Typically, the converter is in the blocking state condition after energization.
IEC 62501:2009/AMD1:2014 – 5 –
© IEC 2014
3.3.2
de-blocked state
condition of the converter, in which turn-on and turn-off signals are applied repetitively to
IGBTs of the converter
3.3.3
valve protective blocking
means of protecting the valve or converter from excessive electrical stress by the emergency
turn-off of all IGBTs in one or more valves
3.3.4
voltage step level
voltage step caused by switching of a valve or part of a valve during the de-blocked state of
the converter
NOTE For valves of the controllable voltage source type, the voltage step level corresponds to the change of
voltage caused by switching one submodule or cell. For valves of the switch type, the voltage step level
corresponds to the change of voltage caused by switching the complete valve.
3.4 VSC construction terms
Replace the existing terms and definitions by the following new terms and definitions:
3.4.1
VSC phase unit
equipment used to connect the two d.c. busbars to one a.c. terminal
3.4.2
switch type VSC valve
arrangement of IGBT-diode pairs connected in series and arranged to be switched
simultaneously as a single function unit
3.4.3
controllable voltage source type VSC valve
complete controllable voltage source assembly, which is generally connected between one a.c.
terminal and one d.c. terminal
3.4.4
diode valve
semiconductor valve containing only diodes as the main semiconductor devices, which might
be used in some VSC topologies
3.4.5
dynamic braking valve
complete controllable device assembly, which is used to control energy absorption in braking
resistor
3.4.6
valve
VSC valve, dynamic braking valve or diode valve according to the context
3.4.7
submodule
part of a VSC valve comprising controllable switches and diodes connected to a half bridge or
full bridge arrangement, together with their immediate auxiliaries, storage capacitor, if any,
where each controllable switch consists of only one switched valve device connected in series
– 6 – IEC 62501:2009/AMD1:2014
© IEC 2014
3.4.8
cell
MMC building block where each switch position consists of more than one IGBT-diode pair
connected in series
NOTE See Figure A.13
3.4.9
VSC valve level
smallest indivisible functional unit of VSC valve
NOTE For any VSC valve in which IGBTs are connected in series and operated simultaneously, one VSC valve
level is one IGBT-diode pair including its auxiliaries (see Figure A.13). For MMC type without IGBT-diode pairs
connected in series one valve leve
