5SHX1960L0006 | ABB | IGCT-RC module model | 3BHE019719R0101

Crimping must be performed using the specified pressure clamps; uneven pressure can easily cause localized overheating and damage to the chip. The cooling medium is deionized pure water to prevent electrolytic corrosion. The RC version has a built-in reverse diode that can withstand reverse current, making it suitable for voltage source inverter (VSI) topologies. Use a high-voltage megohmmeter in diode mode to measure: the forward IGCT thyristor characteristics and the reverse characteristics of the built-in diode; if both forward and reverse circuits are through/completely open, the device is considered damaged.

  Other names for 5SHX1960L0006 3BHE019719R0101:

  High-voltage frequency converter module 5SHX1960L0006 3BHE019719R0101

  5SHX1960L0006 3BHE019719R0101 drive control thyristor module

  Diode module 5SHX1960L0006 3BHE019719R0101

  Core electrical specifications:

  Blocking voltage: VDRM = 4500 V

  Average on-state current: ITAVM = 2645 A

  Inrush current ITSM: 40 kA

  Device type: Reverse-conducting IGCT (integrated freewheeling diode, no external anti-parallel diode required)

  Package: Press-Pack disc package, double-sided water cooling

  Junction temperature range: -40 ℃ ~ +125 ℃

  Drive method: Fiber optic signal drive, strong electromagnetic interference resistance; hard-drive gate commutation technology

  Switch-off characteristics: Fast turn-off, suitable for medium-voltage high-power converters

  RC Key Advantages: Integrated freewheeling diode simplifies power unit topology and reduces cabinet size.


  Working Principle (Brief)

  The IGCT is based on an improved GTO thyristor and employs Gate Forced Commutation (GCT):

  Turn-on: Fiber optic signal triggers gate conduction;

  Turn-off: A large reverse current is drawn from the gate, forcing the anode current to quickly commutate to the gate, achieving reliable turn-off;

  The RC version has a built-in reverse diode, capable of withstanding reverse current, suitable for voltage source inverter (VSI) topologies.


  Key Features

  ✅ Integrated reverse conduction, eliminating the need for an external freewheeling diode and reducing stray inductance.

  ✅ Press-fit package, suitable for high-power water-cooled applications, easy for series and parallel expansion.

  ✅ Fiber optic drive, high and low voltage isolation, suitable for 6kV/10kV medium-voltage systems.

  ✅ Compared to IGBTs: stronger surge current resistance and lower conduction losses.

  ✅ Compared to ordinary GTOs: faster switching speed and no need for a large buffer circuit.


  Installation and Fault Detection Points

  Installation Requirements: Press-fit must use the specified pressure clamp; uneven pressure can easily cause localized overheating and damage to the chip. The cooling medium should be deionized pure water to prevent electrolytic corrosion.


  Common Failure Modes

  Overvoltage Breakdown: System buffer circuit failure, operational overvoltage

  Thermal Fatigue Burnout: Insufficient water cooling flow, crimping force deviation, excessive junction temperature

  Gate Damage: Driver board failure, abnormal fiber optic signal

  Simple Static Judgment Method: Use a high-voltage megohmmeter in diode mode to measure: forward IGCT thyristor characteristics, reverse IGCT to show built-in diode conduction characteristics; if both forward and reverse are straight-through/completely open, the device is considered damaged.
