Product Description:
The ABB 5SHY35L4512 is an asymmetric integrated gate-commutated thyristor (IGCT). It is a high-power semiconductor device that is used in a variety of industrial applications, such as high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and power quality correction systems.
Product Parameters:
- Voltage rating: 4500 V
- Current rating: 4000 A
- Turn-on time: typically 10 μs
- Turn-off time: typically 100 μs
- Forward voltage drop: typically 1.5 V
- Reverse voltage drop: typically 3.5 V
The Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) was introduced about 15 years ago and
has established itself as a preferred solution for a number of high power electronics applications. These applications have in common that the rated power level is in the megawatts (MW) and they range from industrial drives and track-side supplies to power quality and high-current breakers. In this article we highlight the features making the IGCT so attractive for high power applications and we discuss the developments that will further strengthen the
IGCT’s advantages in high power applications.
ABB offers two different types of IGCTs: the asymmetric and the reverse conducting (RC).
The asymmetric IGCT offers highest power levels. It is available as standard asymmetric
IGCT and as the newer HPT-IGCT with improved turn-off capability. Applying asymmetric
IGCTs allows choosing optimized free-wheel diodes as for instances ABBs new IGCT diodes
