Popis: The integration of overhead lines in future MTDC grids leads to a higher fault rate compared to cables. Most of the faults are con-sidered to be non-permanent, so that the line can be recon-nected after dielectric recovery. The auto-reclosing procedure in HVDC systems reveals new challenges since multiple restrikes are possible within a short period of time. This paper proposes an auxiliary circuit for DC Circuit Breakers (DCCB) which enables to use the DCCB internal capacitor for the line pre-energization. A comprehensive description of the switchgear operations during the pre-energization sequence is provided and the fault property identification method is defined. The method is validated by simulations in a MTDC grid and a sensitivity analysis is carried out using EMTP-RV.
