Thyristor starters for ASK-100 asynchronized compensators

The features of the start-up of asynchronized synchronous compensators (ASC) are described. The characteristic of the PU-6-05 starters for the ASK-100 compensators produced by “Elektrosila,” branch of the JSC “Silovye macshiny,” is given. Problems of determining the position of the rotor, operations in the artificial and natural switching zones, and the processes of synchronizing the compensator with the power network and slowing of the power plant are considered.
