Series Description
ABB is a leading provider of power semiconductor modules, specializing in IGCTs (Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristors) and IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors), both of which are critical for high-power electronic systems.
IGCTs are designed for high-voltage and high-current applications, combining the power-handling capabilities of thyristors with the fast turn-off capability of transistors. Typical applications include high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, medium-voltage drives, and static VAR compensators (STATCOMs).
IGBTs, by contrast, are suited for lower-voltage, higher-frequency applications, offering fast switching speeds. They are widely used in industrial motor drives, traction systems (such as trains and electric vehicles), and renewable energy systems (e.g., solar inverters).
ABB’s IGCT and IGBT modules are renowned for their high reliability, efficiency, and performance, making them essential for controlling and switching high electrical power. The choice between IGCTs and IGBTs depends on the specific voltage, current, and switching frequency requirements of each application. ABB provides a wide range of these modules to meet diverse industrial needs, ensuring superior performance in demanding applications.
