A. Are Located Near The Motors B. Are Installed in Distribution Substations C. Both (A) and (B) D. None of These

The document discusses high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. Key points include: 1) HVDC converters consume 50% of the real power consumed. 2) Back-to-back HVDC links are advantageous over AC due to controlled power flow. 3) 12-pulse bridges are preferred in HVDC as they eliminate certain harmonics. HVDC systems can be monopolar, bipolar, or homopolar depending on how the poles and earth are configured to transmit power. Bipolar HVDC involves using two poles of opposite polarity while homopolar uses two lines of the same polarity with earth as the return path. Converters are used to convert AC to
