4.1 General
Add, to the end of the first sentence of the first existing paragraph, the words "and current
transducers."
4.2.3.2 Thyristors and diodes
Add, after the first existing paragraph, the following new paragraph, which is the second
paragraph of 4.2.3.3.
The thyristors and diodes themselves are non-flammable and, because failure relieves other
components from significant voltage stress, it is often arranged that other component faults
lead directly or indirectly to thyristor short circuit, thereby avoiding a hazardous condition
elsewhere.
4.2.3.3 IGBT and similar semiconductor devices
Change the existing title of 4.2.3.3 by the following new title:
4.2.3.3 IGBT- diode pairs
Delete, in the first sentence of the first existing paragraph, the words "at the time of writing".
Delete the second existing paragraph.
4.2.3.4 Capacitors
Replace the last existing paragraph by the following new paragraph:

IEC TR 62757:2015/AMD1 2019 – 3 –
© IEC 2019
Capacitors that are dry type, normally containing polyurethane, silicone gel or N2 and SF6
gas, have no flammable fluids that can leak out of the housing.
4.2.3.5 Reactors
Replace, in the first existing paragraph, the second sentence by the following new sentence:
A mode of failure of valve reactors is overheating due to total or partial blockage of the
cooling pipes or the leakage of a joint within the reactors.
4.2.3.8 Light guides
Replace the existing subclause, including its title, by the following new subclause and title:
4.2.3.8 Fibre optics
Fibre optics, either individually or in bundles, involve a risk of fire ignition, if exposed to
conductive surface contaminati
