The application of voltage source converters (VSCs) into medium- and high-power transmission is currently attracting increased attention. In view of this increased attention, this article provides the simulation results of the overvoltages produced by faults occurring in the DC line of a point-to-point VSC-based HVDC system as well as in a neighbouring AC line system. The VSC converters considered here use the MMC (modular multi-level converter) technique to generate the voltage waveform. For pole-to-ground faults occurring in the DC link of a symmetrical monopole system, significantly high overvoltages may arise on the sound pole. This condition is of concern, mainly during the planning stage of the VSC-HVDC project, as it may require the installation of surge arresters with a good performance and/or also additional insulation of the line. In addition, unless the faults occurring on the DC link are quickly removed, sustained overvoltages can threaten the normal operation of the surge arresters installed on the DC side of both sound and faulty poles. Faults and other events in the AC system (near the DC link) may lead to sustained overvoltages that should also be examined regarding the response of the surge arresters.
