ABB 5SHY4045L0004Product NameABB 5SHY4045L0004 High-Voltage Asymmetric Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) Power ModuleProduct DescriptionThe ABB 5SHY4045L0004 is a high-power asymmetric IGCT module designed for medium-voltage (MV) and high-voltage (HV) industrial power conversion systems. It combines the low on-state conduction loss of traditional thyristors with the fast gate-commutated turn-off capability of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), delivering superior efficiency and switching performance for heavy-duty applications. Optimized for hard-switching topologies, this module supports reliable operation in harsh industrial environments with high electromagnetic interference, wide temperature fluctuations, and heavy load conditions. It is fully compatible with ABB’s dedicated gate driver units (e.g., GVC series) and MV drive platforms (e.g., ACS 800 MV series), making it ideal for applications such as medium-voltage variable frequency drives, static var compensators (SVCs), active power filters (APFs), and traction converters in metallurgy, mining, power generation, and rail transit sectors.Product Parameters
