Technical Features

  • IGCT Technology: Combines the low on-state loss of thyristors with the fast turn-off capability of IGBTs, enabling efficient and stable high-power switching.
  • Optically Triggered Drive: Controlled via optical fiber signals, providing high-voltage isolation, electromagnetic interference immunity, and long-distance transmission (within 45 meters).
  • Integrated Protection: Built-in overcurrent, overvoltage and junction temperature monitoring protection, supporting soft turn-off to prevent thermal runaway.
  • Low-Loss Design: Low on-state voltage drop, significantly reducing conduction losses and improving system efficiency.
  • High Reliability: Press-pack packaging, multi-chip parallel current sharing, ceramic substrate and silicone gel encapsulation, resistant to salt spray and vibration.
  • Modular Structure: Compact and robust, easy for installation and maintenance, supporting water cooling / air cooling.

Main Applications
