Vacant job

The Electrical Valve Design department is a part of Hitachi Energy HVDC Products in Ludvika. As a department, we are globally responsible for the electrical design and requirements of semiconductor-based HVDC and SVC valves. HVDC valves are used to convert AC to DC and vice versa, and are essential for HVDC power transmission. SVC valves are used in SVC systems to support and stabilize AC systems.

We are also responsible for designing digital optical instrument transducers. These are state-of-the-art and compact current measuring instruments specifically suited for HVDC applications. These current measuring instruments are used in various parts of an HVDC system, such as measuring valve current to protect it against overcurrents and earth faults. They are also used for measuring harmonics and filter supervision.
