Core functions:
This module is equipped with an IGCT chip, anti parallel diode, and gate drive circuit, serving as an electronic switch in high-voltage AC circuits, achieving 0 to 100% stepless power control. As the core power device of the active rectification unit (ARU) in the ACS6000 series medium voltage frequency converter, each phase is composed of IGCT, diodes, and clamp capacitors, and is powered by an independent gate power supply unit (GUSP, such as the 5SYA series). Widely used in high-power scenarios such as AC motor speed regulation, renewable energy power conversion, and grid reactive power compensation.

IGCT technology background:
IGCT (Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor) was introduced by ABB in 1997 and is a technological evolution of GTO thyristors. Integrating and packaging GTO chips with anti parallel diodes and gate driver circuits combines the high power density and low on state losses of GTO with the simple gate driver and high switching frequency advantages of IGBT. Compared to traditional GTOs, the shutdown time is shortened by about 30 times. Compared to IGBTs of the same voltage level, IGCT has a larger current capacity (up to several thousand amperes) and is more suitable for ultra-high voltage and high-power scenarios above 3300V. ABB, along with Infineon and Mitsubishi, is one of the top three global IGCT suppliers. This model 1960A belongs to the high current level in the SHX series, between 1445A and 2645A.
Typical application scenarios:
High voltage direct current transmission (HVDC): used for DC conversion, DC filtering, and reducing energy loss during transmission
Wind power generation: Control the speed and power output of the generator to improve power generation efficiency
Photovoltaic power generation: achieving high power point tracking (MPPT) to improve conversion efficiency
Belt drive system for coal mine main shaft: efficient and reliable drive of high-power motor
Industrial frequency converter: As a core power device, it realizes the frequency conversion and voltage regulation of electrical energy, mainly equipped with ABB ACS6000 series medium voltage frequency converter active rectification unit
Rail Transit: Train Auxiliary Inverter, Motor Drive System
Electric Vehicle Traction System: Power Conversion and Control
Renewable energy storage system: power conversion in battery energy storage system
Power grid infrastructure: power transmission and distribution, reactive power compensation, voltage regulation
Large motor drive: speed control of high-power AC motors such as pumps, fans, compressors, etc
Compatible devices:
Mainly used in conjunction with ABB ACS6000 series medium voltage frequency converter active rectifier unit, the gate power supply unit model is 5SYA series (such as 5SYA 2031, 5SYA 2032, etc.). It can also be integrated into other high-voltage and high-power converter devices.
