Description

ABB 5SHX1060H0003 RC-IGCT Module – 4500 V / 1060 A Press-Pack Power Semiconductor Specifications

Parameter Table: ABB 5SHX1060H0003

Manufacturer: ABB Switzerland Ltd.
Order Code (ABB Part Number): 3BHB020538R0001
Product Type: Reverse-Conducting Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (RC-IGCT) module, press-pack
Rated Blocking Voltage (V DRM): 4500 V (some listings reference 5500 V or “4500–6000 V class”; confirm against the specific device generation)
Rated Average Current (I TAV): 1060 A (drive-bridge application rating); one detailed listing gives maximum average on-state current of 355 A under half-sine, T C = 85 °C, alongside a 1060 A “nominal continuous” figure
Maximum Non-Repetitive Surge Current (I TSM): 7.5 kA (t p = 10 ms, T j = 115 °C)
On-State Voltage (V T): ≤ 3.45 V at I T = 900 A, T j = 115 °C
Switching Frequency: Up to approximately 2 kHz (typical drive-bridge application)
Integrated Elements: IGCT pellet + monolithic anti-parallel freewheeling diode within the same press-pack housing; shipped with dedicated gate driver (3BHB020538R0001 / GVC714 A101 family)
Trigger Interface: Fiber-optic isolated digital gate signal; gate drive voltage +15 V (turn-on) / −10 to −15 V (turn-off)
Mounting Force: 18–22 kN
Cooling: Direct liquid cooling (de-ionized water or water-glycol), double-sided cooling
Operating Junction Temperature: 0 °C to +115 °C (some listings state −40 °C to +125 °C; verify against the applicable datasheet)
Typical Dimensions / Weight: Approximately 239 × 200 × 62.5 mm; ~1.7 kg (complete assembly ~1.93 kg with gate driver)
Typical Applications: ABB ACS5000 / ACS6000 / PCS6000 medium-voltage drives, HVDC transmission, large renewable energy converters

Usage Note: This part number circulates in the aftermarket with at least five conflicting descriptions: RC-IGCT, HV-IGBT, “IGCT stack assembly,” thyristor module, and even PLC/robot controller or circuit-breaker listings. The RC-IGCT parameter set above is anchored on the most internally consistent technical listings, but it should not be treated as an ABB-official datasheet. For design-in, replacement, or procurement, obtain the original ABB datasheet for the exact order code 3BHB020538R0001 and cross-check the gate-driver revision, clamping force, cooling-circuit compatibility, and voltage class against the drive manual.
