Core functions:
5SHY3545L0016 is the main power IGCT module, which is equipped with an IGCT chip, anti parallel diode, and gate drive circuit. It serves as an electronic switch in the high-voltage AC circuit, achieving 0 to 100% stepless power control. As the core power device of ABB’s medium voltage frequency converter active rectification unit (ARU) and giant power electronics complete set, it is powered by an independent gate power supply unit (GUSP, such as the 5SYA series). The 3BHB020720R0002 control/interface board provides power input, signal transmission, and communication adaptation functions for the IGCT module. It adopts industrial grade design, with high component quality and strong anti-interference ability, which can ensure the stable operation of the main module. At the same time, it supports communication with ABB control systems and compatible equipment, making it convenient for users to monitor and control the overall system status. 3BHE019719R0101 (GVC736BE101) is a matching thyristor module responsible for current regulation and power control, which work together to complete high-power energy conversion and speed regulation tasks. 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 3500V. ABB, along with Infineon and Mitsubishi, is one of the top three global IGCT suppliers. The SHY series is the highest current series in ABB IGCT product line, with 3545A being the main power level of the series, ranging from 3500A to 4000A.
Compared to the SHX series:
SHX series: 3300V voltage level, current range 360A to 2645A (such as 5SHX0360D0001, 5SHX2645L0004, etc.)
SHY series: voltage level from 3500V to 4500V, current range from 3500A to 5000A (such as 5SHY3545L0016, 5SHY4045L0006, 5SHY5045L0020, etc.)
The SHY series has higher current capacity and voltage levels than the SHX series, making it suitable for higher power applications.

High Voltage Direct Current Transmission (HVDC): Used for direct current conversion and filtering, it has been applied in ultra-high voltage engineering
Wind power generation: Control the speed and power output of the generator to improve power generation efficiency
