ak2390@inbox.ru Abstract Authors consider principles of construction and functioning of high-voltage thyristor valve when carrying out electrodynamic test of power transformers. A procedure of structure determining of high-voltage thyristor valve which provides safety of carrying out short-circuit experiments for power thyristor has been developed. The authors show that high-voltage thyristor valve rules out the possibility of occurrence of abnormal and no normalized modes for potential transformer during shortcircuit experiments.

Introduction The theme of electrodynamics tests arrangements in Russia for improving the reliability of transformer and reactor equipment (TRE), the existing testing facilities and opportunities of the TRE tests in the future are consideredin [1]. This article is a continuation of this important research. Currently there are independent testing centers operating in Europe which are integrated into the International Association of test centers (STL, Shortcurrent Testing Laboratory). In last USSR, there were 5 major independent testing facilities for testing high voltage equipment 110 - 1150 kV. In modern Russia, such leading centers providing a complete cycle of testing electrical equipment are not available. However, testing is the only way to obtain reliable information about the characteristics, properties and behavior of high-voltage electrical equipment, especially new one in various conditions including emergency mode. Among the most complicated technical implementation, but also mostly demanded nowadays, there is electromagnetic testing of power transformers for resistance to short-circuit (SC), that conduct is only possible on a dedicated test bench [1]. Testing of power transformers for electrodynamic stability involves the deliberate creation of short-circuit at a predetermined time interval [2,3]. This test is created with the generated high-voltage thyristor valve (HVTV), which is able to switch on the specific time and to maintain the conductive state, and predetermined number of periods of mains voltage. It should be noted that HVTV has been widely used as a part of power converter stations and inserts DC [4], static thyristor compensators of reactive power [5], setting a controlled series compensation on power lines AC [6], rectifier converters for superconducting inductive energy storage [7]. However, during the electrodynamic test, the nature of electrical interference on the HVTV is significantly different from that in the conditions of functioning as 58
