5SHY3545L0020 | ABB IGCT Module

The gate driving circuit, commonly called gate unit, is critical for the device performance andis therefore an integral part of the IGCT. There is no need to externally source a gate unitwhich even might compromise the device performance. The IGCT only needs a power supply and two optical fibers for the control and can be considered plug-and-play, although itmay be a bit unusual to describe a MW-device in this way.
