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.

    It goes whichever way It needs to at the time.



    A typical pylon carries two circuits (6 lines in total) and they seem to be able to isolate just one of the circuits leaving the other one live - at least that's what seemed to happen near me when the "re-wired" the local pylons - one side one summer, the other the next. Presumably only an option when demand is low (summer) but does seem to give an opportunity for planned maintenance.
