Abstract
The reliability of DC arresters is one of the basis of safe operation for HVDC transimission system, the aging test is the main measure to obtain the reliability of arresters, and therefore, is of great importance. The test voltage with ideal waveforms had not been produced before by any of the test equipment when it is loaded. The paper introduces a method to produce the aging test ripple voltage waveforms of 6 pulses and 12 pulses converter which fully considers the influence of trigger angle and commutation angle. The paper designed a kind of ripple voltage power source which can series, and produce the ripple waveform of any trigger angle and commutation angle, the output voltage of one module is up to 1kV. The device went through 1000 hours of testing, and commutation process can be seen in the oscillograph clearly, including stable commutation overshoot. The oscillograph also show that the fundamental frequency of the waveform is stable, and waveform distortion is small and can be ignored. The output voltage meets the requirements of aging test for various types of DC arresters.
