ABB 5SHY4045L0001 3BHB018162R0001
Product Parameters
- Voltage Rating: Capable of handling high – voltage applications, with a typical voltage rating relevant for medium – voltage scenarios. While the exact value isn’t fully specified in the provided data, it’s designed for high – voltage operation, potentially in the range of several kilovolts (e.g., it can work well in systems with voltages like 4.5 kV as indicated in some performance discussions).
- Current Rating: Can handle high – current loads. For example, it can manage currents up to 3 kA as mentioned in relation to its performance in specific power – level scenarios.
- Switching Speed: The module has a fast switching speed. It can switch the thyristor state rapidly, with the ability to change from the pnpn latch – up state to the pnp mode within 1 µs. Also, it can achieve a high di/dt (rate of change of current) value of ≥5–6 kA/µs at a 20 – volt gate voltage.
- Switching Frequency: Operates in the frequency range of 500Hz to 2kHz, which is well – suited for applications that require relatively high – speed power switching for efficient power conversion.
- Conduction Loss: Due to its thyristor – mode conduction operation, it has lower conduction losses compared to some other power – switching devices, contributing to overall energy efficiency in power – conversion systems.
