Model Number: 3BHE009681R0101 3BHB012961R0001 5SHX2645L0002Type: IGCT ModuleProduct Origin: SwitzerlandDimensions: 120 mm x 120 mm x 100 mmWeight: 2.5 kgHigh voltage and current handling capabilityFast switching speedsLow lossesHigh reliabilityThe Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) was introduced about 15 years ago andhas established itself as a preferred solution for a number of high power electronics applications. These applications have in common that the rated power level is in the megawatts(MW) and they range from industrial drives and track-side supplies to power quality andhigh-current breakers. In this article we highlight the features making the IGCT so attractivefor high power applications and we discuss the developments that will further strengthen theIGCT’s advantages in high power applications
