• Closed-circuit:
The cooling air circulates closed
circuit inside the converter cubicles.
Water-cooling
Deionised water flows closed-circuit
through the thyristor heat sinks and around
the snubber circuit resistors and cooled by
either water-to-water water-to-air heat
exchanger.
The advantages air cooling are:
• simplicity
• overload capability for short duty cycles
• permits converters installed where
cooling water not available.
The advantages water cooling are:
• space-saving layout
• losses easily conveyed from control room
• higher ambient temperature permissible
• less noise
• fully enclosed cubicle with protection
class IP55 (protection against dust
and splash water) for noise reduction and
severe ambient conditions available

• Open-circuit:
Fans force the cooling air through the
thyristor heat sinks.
All components are wired and the system
tested the works prior delivery which
considerably reduces the time required for
