Overview
This ABB IGCT Module Set integrates three essential components for high-voltage, high-current industrial applications:
-
5SHX1445H0001 – IGCT (Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor) semiconductor device
-
3BHL000391P0101 – Thyristor control unit
-
3BHB003230R0101 – Gate driver/interface module
Together, they form the core of ABB’s medium-voltage converter systems, optimized for megawatt-class motor drives, power grid converters, and renewable energy inverters. The IGCT technology combines the fast switching of IGBTs with the low conduction losses of GTOs, delivering superior efficiency, ruggedness, and thermal performance.
The module set supports water cooling, IP67 protection, and high switching frequencies, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Its compact design and integrated control logic also simplify installation and maintenance.
For instance, in a copper mine’s hoisting system, this IGCT module set ensures stable torque control and fault-tolerant operation under extreme load conditions.
