extinction angle
Extinction angle, in electrical engineering, represents the angle in relation to the time at which outgoing current becomes zero in the commutation process of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems. Essentially, it is the moment when the electrical device stops conducting, or the previous valve is turned off in a converter. The value of the extinction angle often plays a crucial role in the prevention of commutation failures in the power transmission system.
