1. Product Overview
The ABB 5SHX1960L0006 (Ordering Code: 3BHB016120R0002) is an asymmetric Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) power module belonging to the 5SHX series, specifically designed for ABB ACS 6000 medium-voltage drive platforms and generator excitation control systems. As a core component for medium-voltage power conversion and excitation regulation, it achieves efficient control of high voltage and large current with sub-microsecond switching speed, low on-state voltage drop (reduced by ~30% compared to traditional GTO), and high no-buffer turn-off rating, significantly improving system energy efficiency and dynamic response. Equipped with integrated gate drive circuit (GVC750BE101), 2500V AC isolation, and comprehensive protection functions (overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, gate short circuit), it is an ideal choice for critical applications in power generation (hydropower, combined cycle, pumped storage power plants), oil & gas, metallurgy, and rail transit that require high power density, fast dynamic response, and reliable operation.
