The Western HVDC Link

Alan Capon
I did originally answer the previous thread, but have since deleted my response and I believe a new thread with a proper and correct title is the correct way of answering. 


More info on the fault here: https://www.energy-reporters.com/transmission/italys-prysmian-under-fire-over-uk-interconnector-failure/ 


Reports suggest an undersea cable fault in the vicinity of Liverpool Bay. 


Regards,


Alan.

    . . . Certainly considerable potential for a loud bang if it all gets released at once. . . 




    I am not sure of the cable size. The capacitance of the cable must be quite significant in terms of its stored charge too!  The main problem with re-energisation, is that if there is a fault, it will prove more significant and do more damage than the original trip.
