Neuhof Substation

It was therefore one of the few substations in former West Germany, into which electricity from GDR was fed.

The converters consisted of a three-phase asynchronous motor with a short circuited rotor on the driving side and an asynchronous generator with a slip-ring fed rotor, whereby the frequency adjustment was made by a static frequency inverter, which feeds the rotor.

Startup of a converter took place using the slip-ring rotor with a conventional starter circuit.

After the converter had reached its nominal speed, the short circuited rotor was connected, which then took over the drive.

The machine halls stand still today and are used by Harzenergie for internal purposes.
