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.

    the grid lines near hear are 3 per phase on one side and four per phase in the other



    Not sure if it's a similar situation as a line of pylons near me. A couple of years ago it all six conductors had a bundle of 4 cables each - then the summer before last they "rewired" one side and it ended up with bundles of 3 instead of the original 4 - then last summer the rewired the other side so that has bundles of 3 now as well. So for a year they looked a bit odd.
