Experimental installations between Weittengen and Zurich , and Charlottenburg and Moabit , Berlin , were demonstrated between 1933 and 1942 . Contracts were signed with AEG and Siemens in 1941 , and construction began of a bipolar direct current line from the Elbe power station near Dessau , to Berlin- Marienfelde , in 1943 . The line was designed to transmit 60 Megawatt s using a symmetrical bipolar operating voltage of 200 kV, give or take. Two single-core earth cables were used, (a piece of the cable used can be seen in the Deutsches Museum , Munich ). The system was never put into service owing to the chaos in Germany at the end of WWII .The situation in post-war Germany allowed the Soviets to dismantle the system and reuse it in the building of a 100 kilometre long 200 kV monopolar high voltage direct current line with a maximum transmission rating of 30 megawatts between Moscow and Kashira , in 1951 . Nowadays the high voltage direct current line between Moscow and Kashira is shut down. REFERENCE Power Electronics in Europe |
