Abstract

An installation for transmission of high-voltage direct current comprises a first and a second converter (SR1, SR2, respectively), each one controlled by a separate piece of control equipment (CE1, CE2, respectively). Each one of the pieces of control equipment comprises a current controller (CC). The current controller of the second converter is supplied with a second current reference value (IOL2) and a current margin (IOM). The control equipment of the second converter comprises a function-forming member (11), which in dependence on an applied measured value (UD) of the direct voltage forms the current margin such that, when the direct voltage exceeds a first preselected voltage level (Udf), it assumes a first value (IOMf) and, when the direct voltage is lower than the first voltage level, it assumes a second value (IOMs), the magnitude of the second value being greater than the magnitude of the first value.
