Electrical power requirements are increasing all over the world.

High voltage direct current (HVDC) technology allows power transportation over long distances and power exchange between networks.

The MK light conducting cable developed by SCHOTT as a high voltage resistant cable is particularly well-suited for the transmission of data and control signals required for such applications.

The trigger command from a high power diode at ground potential is transmitted via a high-voltage resistant light guide to a thyristor at high potential.

In conventional thyristor firing applications, a conversion of the optical signal into electrical pulse is required to operate the thyristor.

Light-triggering thyristors are triggered directly by means of a powerful light pulse.

Light guides can also be used to monitor the triggering process.
