2. Key Features

1. High Integration (Snubber-less Design)

  • Built-in GTO chip, anti-parallel diode, gate drive and TMR protection circuit
  • No RC snubber required: simplifies system, reduces components, improves reliability
  • Fiber optic isolation: strong anti-interference, suitable for high-voltage and strong electromagnetic environment

2. Fast Turn-off and Series Voltage Balancing

  • Turn-off time ≤1 µs, excellent device consistency (variation < 0.2 µs)
  • Strong dynamic voltage balancing in series: uniform voltage distribution among multiple modules in series, reduces overvoltage risk

3. Low Loss and High Efficiency

  • On-state voltage drop ≈2.5 V, low switching loss
  • System efficiency >98%, suitable for high-power continuous operation

4. High Reliability and Hardware Fault Tolerance (TMR)

  • Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): microsecond-level fault response, hardware fault tolerance
  • Fuse-less design: short-circuit withstand 10 kA, turn-off within 3 µs
  • Press-pack package: double-sided cooling, pressure contact, long service life, high vibration resistance

3. Typical Applications

  • Medium-voltage high-power inverters: rolling mills, fans, pumps (ACS1000/ACS6000 series)
  • VSC-HVDC (Voltage Source Converter based High Voltage Direct Current)
  • Wind power converters: full-power converters, grid-connected converters (5MW+ wind turbines)
  • Industrial drives, marine propulsion, electric locomotive traction
  • Grid SVG/STATCOM, energy storage converters

4. Difference from 5SHX1445H0002

  • 5SHX1445H0001: Standard version, 3.3kV/1445A, matched with 3BHL000391P0101 drive board
  • 5SHX1445H0002: Enhanced version, better turn-off consistency and superior series voltage balancing, ideal for high-voltage series topologies

5. Matching and Selection Guidelines

  • Matching drive: 3BHL000391P0101 (original integrated drive board, 24V power supply, fiber control)
  • Cooling: Forced air cooling / liquid cooling, ensure case temperature -25℃ ~ +70℃
  • Series application: Optimize dynamic voltage balancing by its turn-off consistency; du/dt snubber can be reduced or eliminated
