2. Key Features

1. 6kV Ultra-high Voltage Design

Specially designed for 6.0 kV high-voltage systems. The asymmetric structure optimizes turn-off performance without additional RC snubber, simplifying topology and reducing cost and losses.

2. Snubber-less Integrated Design

Built-in GTO chip, anti-parallel diode, gate drive and TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) protection circuit. High integration reduces external components and improves system reliability.

3. Fast Turn-off and Series Voltage Balancing

Turn-off time ≤1.2 µs, device-to-device variation <0.2 µs, excellent dynamic voltage balancing in series. Uniform voltage distribution among series modules reduces overvoltage risk, suitable for 6–12 kV high-voltage series topologies.

4. Low Loss and High Efficiency

Low on-state voltage drop and low switching loss, system efficiency >98%, suitable for high-power continuous operation and reducing operation and maintenance costs.

5. High Reliability and Hardware Fault Tolerance

TMR provides microsecond-level fault response; press-pack package features double-sided cooling, vibration resistance and long service life, adapting to harsh scenarios such as metallurgy, mining, wind power and marine propulsion.

3. Typical Applications

  • ABB medium and high-voltage inverters: ACS6000/ACS8000 series (3.3–6.0 kV), for rolling mills, fans, pumps, marine propulsion, mine hoists.
  • Generator excitation systems: AC 800PEC excitation controller for fast voltage regulation and fault protection.
  • Grid and new energy equipment: Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS), SVG/STATCOM, wind/PV converters, energy storage converters.
  • Industrial heavy-load applications: Main rolling mill drives, mine hoists, petrochemical compressor drives.
  • HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current): Controls DC current and provides efficient communication functions.

4. Matching and Selection Guidelines

1. Matching Drive

Must be used with ABB original drive board (3BHB003230R0101 / GVC703AE01), powered by 24V DC with fiber control to ensure matching drive and protection logic.

2. Cooling Solution

Adopt forced air cooling or liquid cooling, strictly control case temperature within -40℃ ~ +125℃ to ensure long-term stable operation.

3. Series Application

Optimize dynamic voltage balancing by module turn-off consistency; du/dt snubber can be reduced or eliminated to improve system efficiency.
