Product Name

ABB 5SHY4045L0006 High-Voltage IGCT Power Semiconductor Module (Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor, 4500 V Class)

Product Description

The ABB 5SHY4045L0006 (internal ID: 3BHB030310R0001) is a high-power IGCT module engineered for medium/high-voltage industrial power conversion and drives, such as MV drives, traction converters, STATCOMs, and HVDC applications. It combines the low on-state losses of a thyristor with gate-commutated turn-off capability, enabling high efficiency and reliable operation at elevated voltages and currents. The module features rugged packaging with integrated thermal management, overcurrent/overtemperature protection, and compatibility with ABB’s gate driver units (e.g., GVC736 series) for seamless system integration. Its design is optimized for harsh industrial environments, supporting critical applications in power generation, petrochemicals, metallurgy, and rail traction where uptime and power density are paramount.
