2. Key Features

High Integration Design

Built-in GTO chip, anti-parallel diode, gate drive and TMR protection circuit, no RC snubber required, simplifying the system, reducing components and improving reliability.
Fiber isolation provides strong anti-interference capability, suitable for high-voltage and strong electromagnetic environments.

Fast Turn-off and Series Voltage Balancing

Turn-off time ≤ 1 µs, device-to-device variation < 0.2 µs, with excellent dynamic voltage balancing in series connection. Uniform voltage distribution among series modules reduces overvoltage risk.

Low Loss and High Efficiency

On-state voltage drop ≈ 2.0 V, low switching loss, system efficiency > 98%, suitable for high-power continuous operation.

High Reliability and Hardware Fault Tolerance

TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) realizes microsecond-level fault response; short-circuit withstand 10 kA, turn-off within 3 µs; press-pack package features double-sided cooling, vibration resistance and long service life.

3. Typical Applications

  • ABB ACS5000/ACS6000 medium-voltage inverters (690V–4.16kV)
  • Generator excitation systems (e.g. AC 800PEC excitation controller)
  • Medium-voltage high-power drives: rolling mills, fans, pumps, marine propulsion
  • Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), SVG/STATCOM
  • Wind/PV converters, energy storage converters

4. Matching and Selection Guidelines

  • Matching drive: Original drive board (common type 3BHB018104R0001), powered by 24V DC with fiber control to ensure matched drive and protection functions.
  • Cooling solution: Forced air cooling or liquid cooling, strictly control case temperature within -25℃~+70℃ for long-term stable operation.
  • Series application: Optimize dynamic voltage balancing by turn-off consistency; du/dt snubber can be reduced or eliminated to improve system efficiency.
  • Installation specification: Press-fit with specified torque to ensure uniform double-sided cooling and avoid mechanical stress and poor contact.
