ABB 5SHY3545L0016 3BHB020720R0002 3BHE019719R0101 GVC736BE101

Description

Product Overview

The ABB 5SHY3545L0016 3BHB020720R0002 3BHE019719R0101 GVC736BE101 is a high-power, high-voltage Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) module, a critical spare part for ABB’s ACS 6000 medium-voltage variable frequency drives. This specific module, part number 5SHY3545L0016, is a core switching component responsible for precisely controlling the power delivered to large electric motors. The alphanumeric strings (3BHB020720R0002, 3BHE019719R0101, GVC736BE101) are associated internal order codes, engineering revisions, or drive-specific designations for this IGBT. As the heart of the power conversion section, the reliable operation of this ABB IGBT is paramount for the performance of the entire drive system.

Key Product Parameters

• Original Part Number: 5SHY3545L0016

• Compatible Drive Series: ACS 6000, ACS 6000c

• Voltage Class: Typically for 3300V or 4160V medium-voltage drive systems.

• Current Rating: Designed for a specific high-current output, often in the range of hundreds to over a thousand amps.

• Module Type: Includes anti-parallel diodes for freewheeling.

• Construction: Press-pack or module-type design for efficient cooling and high-power density.

Advantages and Core Features

The primary advantage of the genuine ABB 5SHY3545L0016 IGBT module is its optimized design and tested reliability within the ACS 6000 platform. It is engineered for minimal switching losses, high dv/dt tolerance, and robust short-circuit withstand capability—all critical for medium-voltage drive applications. Using the OEM-specified 5SHY3545L0016 ensures perfect electrical, thermal, and mechanical compatibility with the drive’s power stack, gate drive units, and cooling system. This direct integration guarantees the drive’s performance, efficiency, and protection features operate as designed, which is essential for protecting the substantial investment in the motor and driven equipment.

Application Scenarios

This IGBT module is used exclusively within ABB ACS 6000 drives, which control large, high-power motors in heavy industries:

• Mining & Minerals: Controlling grinding mill motors, conveyor drives, and large fans.

• Metals: Driving main rolling mill motors and run-out table rollers.

• Oil & Gas: Powering main line compressors and pumps for pipelines and LNG facilities.

• Power Generation: Controlling boiler feed pumps and induced/forced draft fans.

• Marine: Used in electric propulsion systems for large vessels.

Comparison with Competing Products

Competing products would be IGBT/IGCT modules from other medium-voltage drive manufacturers like Siemens (Sinamics GM150/SM150), Rockwell (PowerFlex 7000), or GE. However, the ABB 5SHY3545L0016 is not a generic, cross-compatible component. Its design is proprietary to ABB’s ACS 6000 topology. The key comparison for end-users is between sourcing a genuine ABB module versus a third-party refurbished or “compatible” unit. While third-party options may have a lower initial cost, the genuine 5SHY3545L0016 offers assured performance, full warranty, and guaranteed support, minimizing the risk of catastrophic drive failure and associated production losses.

Selection Guide and Important Notes

Selecting this part is a direct replacement procedure for a failed module in an existing ACS 6000 drive. Correct identification is crucial.

Important Precautions:

• Exact Match Required: Always match the full part number from the failed unit. The secondary codes (3BHB020720R0002, etc.) help confirm the exact variant. Do not rely on the drive model alone.

• Professional Installation Required: Replacement of an ABB 5SHY3545L0016 IGBT is a complex, high-risk procedure involving high voltage, precise torque settings, thermal compound application, and gate unit calibration. It must be performed by certified technicians.

• System Diagnostics: Prior to replacement, the root cause of the original module’s failure (e.g., gate drive issue, cooling problem, network disturbance) must be identified and rectified to prevent immediate failure of the new unit.

• Genuine vs. Refurbished: Weigh the criticality of the application against the cost. For mission-critical, non-redundant drives, a genuine ABB module is strongly recommended.
