Technical Principles and Innovative Values

The ABB 5SGY3545L0017​utilizes seventh-generation IGBT technology that combines low conduction losses with soft switching characteristics.The module features an advanced trench gate field-stop design that optimizes the trade-off between switching losses and conduction losses.This technology enables higher switching frequencies while maintaining efficiency,particularly valuable in medium-voltage drive applications where harmonic distortion and efficiency are critical.

Innovation Point 1:The module incorporates a short-circuit ruggedness capability that can withstand fault conditions for up to 10μs,providing sufficient time for protection circuits to operate.This ruggedness ensures system reliability under transient fault conditions that could otherwise destroy conventional IGBTs.

Innovation Point 2:Advanced thermal cycling capability allows the 5SGY3545L0017​to withstand over 50,000 power cycles,significantly extending the module’s operational life in applications with frequent load changes.The aluminum silicon carbide baseplate provides excellent thermal conductivity while matching the coefficient of thermal expansion of the silicon chips.
