Integrated Gate – Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) Module1.

The ABB 5SHX2645L0002/3HB012961R0001 is a high – performance power semiconductor module designed for demanding industrial applications1. It features a hybrid design that combines the advantages of insulated – gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and integrated gate – commutated thyristors (IGCTs)4. This results in a module that offers high switching speeds, low conduction losses, and high – current handling capability4. It is suitable for use in high – power switching applications within industrial drives and power distribution systems, such as in metal processing, mining, and material handling industries to enable precise control of high – power AC motors1. Additionally, it is used in renewable energy systems like wind turbines and solar power systems for efficient power conversion, as well as in substations and electrical grids for power distribution and control1.
