Distinctive features of modern high-voltage thyristor devices

Abstract

This article provides an example of using distributed (decentralized) process control systems designed by All Russian Research and Design Institute of Relay Manufacture with a Pilot Factory. One of these systems is intended for the soft start of HV electric motors, while the other is intended for the automatic transfer switch. Compared to conventional methods, the use of the new approach has ensured better reliabil ity and lower project costs.
