ABB 5SHX1060H0003 Technical specifications
IGCT integrates the GTO chip with the anti-parallel diode and gate driver circuit, and then connects it with the gate driver in a low inductance mode at the periphery, combining the stable turn-off ability of the transistor and the advantages of the low on-state loss of the thyristor.
The performance of thyristor is displayed in the on-stage, and the characteristics of transistor are displayed in the off-stage. IGCT has the characteristics of large current, high blocking voltage, high switching frequency, high reliability, compact structure, low on-off loss and so on, and has a good application prospect.
The IGCT has been successfully used in the field of medium-voltage frequency converters for 11 years (up to 2009) because the high-speed switching capability of IGCT does not require buffer circuits, so the number of power components required is less.
The reliability of operation is greatly increased. The IGCT combines the high-speed switching characteristics of the IGBT(insulated gate bipolar transistor) with the high blocking voltage and low on-loss characteristics of the GTO(gate shutdown gate tube), and the trigger signal is generally transmitted to the IGCT unit through the optical fiber.
In the phase module of the ACS6000 marginal rectifier unit, each phase module consists of an IGCT, a diode, and a clamp capacitor, and is powered by an independent gate power supply unit GUSP.
