AB  - Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) can providesignificant advantages for power transmission applications, how-ever there are remaining challenges trading off DC fault response,losses and controllability. Alternative multilevel converter topolo-gies using combinations of full bridge and half bridge submodulesor series switches allow for competitive efficiency whilst retainingcontrol over the DC fault current. Several possible fault responsesare  analysed  to  evaluate  appropriate  converter  control  actions.Experimental results from a 60 submodule 15 kW demonstratorare  presented  to  validate  the  DC  fault  performance  of  the  fullbridge  MMC,  the  mixed  stack  MMC  and  the  alternate  armconverter.  It  is  shown  that  each  can  control  the  current  intoa  low  impedance  DC  fault,  and  there  no  requirement  to  blockthe  semiconductor  devices.
