Brand: ABB
Series: 5SHY — High-Power Press-Pack IGCT Modules
The 5SHY 3545 L0014, part number 3BHE023784R0001, is a high-power Insulated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) module in a robust press-pack design. Engineered for demanding industrial applications, it delivers exceptional voltage and current performance in a compact form. This module achieves efficient power switching with minimal losses, supports SIL-2 safety levels, and is especially suited for reliability-critical systems like rail traction, HVDC converters, megadrives, wind turbines, and marine propulsion. A fiber-optic status output adds diagnostic insight, although often unused in standard drive setups.

This module thrives in high-power conversion and control systems:
Rail traction: High-speed trains and regenerative braking systems
HVDC converters: Grid interconnection and power balancing
Industrial megadrives: Rolling mills, compressors, heavy-duty motors requiring precise torque control
Renewable energy: Multi-megawatt wind turbine converters and STATCOM systems
Marine propulsion: IGBT-based electric drives in challenging marine environments
Its rugged press-pack design, efficient switching, and fault-tolerant behavior make it a top pick for systems requiring reliability under stress.
High switching efficiency: Ultra-low conduction and switching losses (~15–20% improvement on previous generations)
Fault resilience: Press-pack structure fails short, enabling fault-tolerant configurations in converters
Superior thermal management: Supports liquid cooling and handles extreme thermal flux, up to 450 W/cm²
Compact and robust: Bond-wire-free design ensures longevity in cyclic and vibration-heavy environments
Easy integration: Low-inductance copper interfaces and compatibility with existing gate driver systems streamline adoption
