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.

    Kelly Marie:

    What would be the current of a 400Kv grid circuit? I'm guessing about 4000 amps per phase is this a sensible guess? Also I've noticed the pylons round here have 3 conductors per phase  




    400 kV x 4 kA = 1600 MVA, which seems rather a lot!
