Whatever a Hockspannungstromübertragungsanlage is, I see it as enlightened that the Germans haven’t developed a simple word for it. Looks nasty.
You missed the gleich.
High voltage direct current “transfer” device.
Or simply a transformer.
But what’s being missed is the fact that all German speakers will have a much better idea of what it is.
But transformer? Is it a giant robot? A car? Something that makes a giant robot into a car? Something entirely different?
*Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragungsanlage. But I have to admit defeat here, Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragung does get abbreviated as HGÜ, so almost nobody would write Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragungsanlage but rather HGÜ-Anlage, even if Hochspannungsgleichstromübertragungsanlage is a perfectly cromulent word.
High Voltage DC transmission system. So, not overly sinister, and probably needed.
Never thought about how many ways you can translate Anlage.

Warum ist das Fugen-S in Klammern? Es ist in diesem Fall nicht optional, da das vorausgehende Wort auf -ung endet.

Isn’t that the safe word from Club Vandersexxx??
I thought it looked like some form of artilleri but apparently it’s just a Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggning (in swedish) so nothing to dangerous.
Hmmm… I wonder what the elevatorpitch for a Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggningservicelektriker is?
Hello! I’m the Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggningservicelektrikersanställningsansvarige. Would you like to work as a Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggn…"
No sorry, I have to go.
But it’s a amazing workplace; Steve, our Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggningservicelektrikersarbetsplatssäkerhetsavdelningsledare, will take…
SHUT UP!
