Abstract
An electrical assembly comprises a chain-link converter which includes a plurality of chain-link sub-modules. Each of the chain-link sub-modules is operable to provide a voltage source. Moreover, each of the chain-link sub-modules is provided with a visual indicator. The electrical assembly includes a controller which is configured to selectively operate each of the visual indicators to present a respective mapping visual signal. The electrical assembly additionally includes an image receiving device which is configured to receive the respective mapping visual signal. The electrical assembly also includes a processor which is operatively coupled to the image receiving device. The processor is configured to receive and process the respective mapping visual signal received by the image receiving device so as to create a map of a spatial arrangement of the chain-link sub-modules.
