Product Summary: The Pinnacle of Power Switching
The ABB 5SHY3545L0020 represents the peak of high-voltage, high-current semiconductor technology within the renowned ABB HiPak series. This press-pack IGBT module combines an impressive 4500V blocking voltage with a massive 1200A nominal current rating, making it one of the most powerful modules available for the most critical and demanding applications on the grid and in heavy industry.
Engineered for extreme reliability, its press-pack design is essential for systems where modules are stacked in series to achieve megawatt-level power conversion. It is the component of choice for engineers building infrastructure where failure is not an option.
Why Choose the 5SHY3545L0020?
-
Unmatched Power Density: 4500V and 1200A in a single module enables compact and efficient design of very high-power systems.
-
Superior Press-Pack Technology: Facilitates double-sided cooling for maximum heat dissipation and offers a "fail-short" mode, enhancing system-level protection and availability.
-
Designed for Maximum Uptime: Exceptional thermal cycling performance ensures long service life in 24/7 operation, reducing the total cost of ownership.
-
Optimized for Series Stacking: Low parasitic inductance and robust mechanical construction are ideal for multi-level converter topologies used in HVDC.
