The invention provides a device for a breakdown
diode to initiatively trigger a bypass of a
thyristor valve string. The device comprises a plurality of
thyristor valves connected in series and accessories thereof. A breakdown
diode (BOD) is connected in a position between the gate pole and the positive pole of each
thyristor valve. When faults such as
short circuit happen in the electrical systemand a valve-based
electronics (VBE) does not receive trigger
signal of the thyristor valve string sent by a control and protection unit, the
voltage at two ends of the thyristor valve string increases dramatically; when the
forward voltage reaches the setting valve of
breakdown voltage of the whole string of the breakdown
diode (BOD), the breakdown diode (BOD) is converted to an on-state and sends trigger
signal to the door poles of the thyristor valves depending on a sudden
short circuit effect, the thyristor valves are in an on-state, and the valve-based
electronics (VBE) automatically supplies trigger signals of the whole thyristor valve string according to a plurality of detected protection signals of the breakdown diode, so as to ensure that the thyristor valve string is in normal on-state for a period of time. The resistances and the capacitances connected in series arranged between the positive pole and the negative pole of each thyristor valve form a damp absorption circuit, and the resistances and the capacitances connected in parallel between the door pole and the negative pole of each thyristor valve form a circuit preventing the fault triggering of the thyristor. The limitation level of
short circuit current is decided by the operation
voltage of the breakdown diode. The damp absorption circuit restrains
overvoltage in the closing process of the thyristor valves.
