Abstract: A converter and a method of operating a converter. The converter comprising a DC link capacitor, an upper arm (S1) and a lower arm (S4) with switching cells in series, an upper switch (S2) and a lower switch (S3). The upper switch (S2) and the lower switch (S3) are connected together and the connection point forming an output voltage terminal (a). The converter comprising further an upper valve component and a lower valve component, which are arranged such that the upper valve component allows current from the center point of the DC link capacitor towards the upper arm and the lower valve component allows current from the lower arm towards center point of the DC link capacitor. A current path through the upper valve component or the lower valve component comprises inductance to form a resonance circuit.

Abstract: A converter module for power converter stations includes a first terminal for input/output of an electrical current to the converter module via a first connection line, a second terminal for output/input of the current from the converter module via a second connection line, and a by-pass switch connected between the first terminal and the second terminal. The converter module further includes a first switching module and a second switching module connected in series via a first node connected to either one of the first terminal and the second terminal and at least two capacitor units. The first switching module includes two switching devices and the second switching module is connected between the first node and a second node. In the converter module, a first capacitor unit is connected from the second node to a first switching device of the first switching module and a second capacitor unit is connected from the second node to a second switching device of the first switching module to form two separate current paths between the first node and the second node. Accordingly, a reduction of the energy discharge is obtained upon failure of one or more of the switching devices or modules.

Abstract: An AC power transformer includes primary and secondary windings for at least a first AC phase and a second AC phase, and a core for said at least first and second phases. The transformer further includes a control unit for transferring power from the first phase to the second phase via magnetic coupling in the core such that the sum of the phase vectors of all of the at least first and second phases is substantially zero.
