ABB 5SHY35L4510 Asymmetric IGCT Module

Overview

The ABB 5SHY35L4510 is an asymmetric IGCT module designed for high-power industrial applications. It integrates a gate-commutated thyristor with a gate unit, enabling fast and efficient switching in high-voltage, high-current environments. Its asymmetric design blocks voltage in only one direction, making it ideal for industrial drives, traction systems, and HVDC converters. The module delivers snubberless turn-off, high reliability, and robust performance in medium-frequency switching systems.
