Main parameters

Collector-emitter voltage: 6500V

Collector current: 3800A

Product features

High voltage and high current handling capability: It can withstand a high voltage of 6500V and a high current of 3800A, and is suitable for high-voltage and high-power power electronic applications, such as high-voltage inverters, static VAR compensation devices, etc.

Fast switching characteristics: IGCT technology enables the module to have fast switching capabilities, and can complete the on and off operations in a short time, which helps to improve the operating frequency and efficiency of power electronic equipment and reduce switching losses.

High reliability: It adopts advanced manufacturing processes and quality control systems, and has strong anti-interference and fault self-diagnosis capabilities. It can also operate stably in harsh working environments, effectively reducing the failure rate of the system and improving the reliability of the entire power electronic equipment.

Low conduction loss: In the on state, it has a low on resistance, which reduces the conduction loss, reduces the heat generation of the module, improves the energy conversion efficiency, and helps to reduce the operating cost and heat dissipation requirements of the system.

Application field

Industrial drive: Commonly used in medium and high voltage inverters to provide variable frequency speed control for industrial motors. For example, in large motor drive systems in industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals, the motor speed can be accurately adjusted according to actual working conditions to achieve energy-saving operation and optimize the production process.

Power system: Suitable for static VAR compensation devices (SVCs) for rapid adjustment of reactive power, stabilization of grid voltage, improvement of power quality, compensation for reactive power shortages in the grid, and reduction of voltage fluctuations and flicker. In addition, it is also used in the field of high-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC), undertaking the key task of AC/DC conversion and realizing long-distance, large-capacity power transmission.

Renewable energy: Plays a role in the power conversion link of renewable energy such as wind power generation and solar power generation. In wind power converters, it is used to convert the AC power generated by wind turbines into AC power suitable for grid access; in solar inverters, it converts the DC power generated by solar panels into AC power and feeds it into the grid, supporting high-power energy conversion and improving the utilization efficiency of renewable energy and grid-connected stability.
