5SHY65L4521 ABB High-Power IGCT Converter Module

Description

TheABB 5SHY65L4521is ahigh-power Asymmetric Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (A-IGCT)module used inmedium-voltage industrial and traction power applications. The asymmetric design enableshigh forward voltage blockingwith low reverse blocking, optimized for circuits with an external anti-parallel diode. Its monolithic integration of the power switch and gate drive provideslow conduction loss, fast turn-off, and high reliability, making it ideal forVFDs, traction converters, HVDC, and other high-power grid applications.
