Description
ABB 5SHX2645L0002 – 3BHB012961R0001 – 3BHE009681R0101 (GVC750BE01) – Matched IGCT, Gate Unit and Driver Board Kit for Medium‑Voltage Drives
This package combines the ABB IGCT power device 5SHX2645L0002 with the gate unit 3BHB012961R0001 and the control/driver board 3BHE009681R0101 (GVC750BE01). From my experience, sourcing these as a matched set keeps gate charge, protection thresholds, and timing aligned—very useful when you’re servicing ABB medium‑voltage stacks and need a clean, like‑for‑like swap with minimal surprises. You might notice the fiber‑optic links and dedicated backplane interface make commissioning predictable even in noisy MV bays.

Key Features
- Matched IGCT + driver chain – 5SHX2645L0002 with 3BHB012961R0001 and GVC750BE01 keeps dI/dt limits, gate energy, and protection logic aligned.
- Fiber‑optic triggering – Optical Tx/Rx from driver board to gate unit offers strong EMC immunity in MV cabinets.
- Medium‑voltage drive compatibility – Commonly deployed in ABB ACS‑series MV drives; like‑for‑like swaps typically avoid rewiring.
- Service‑friendly – Press‑pack device with proper clamping; gate unit mounts near the stack; board plugs into the control rack.
- Stable commutation – Consistent gating usually reduces nuisance trips under load steps and regeneration events.
Technical Specifications

| Installation Method | IGCT clamped in the power stack; gate unit mounted adjacent; driver board plugs into the control rack |
Application Fields
You’ll typically see this set in medium‑voltage variable‑speed drives and converters where rugged switching and high efficiency are required:
- ABB MV drives (commonly ACS1000 / ACS5000 / ACS6000) for pumps, compressors, and fans
- Metals, mining, cement, and chemical plants running 3–6.6 kV motors
- Stack refurbishments and lifecycle extensions to avoid full system upgrades
- N‑1 spares coverage strategies on critical production lines
Advantages & Value
- Reliability: Matched parts seem to reduce intermittent gate faults and improve transient behavior under load swings.
- Compatibility: Like‑for‑like replacement keeps fiber links, backplane, and busbar geometry intact in most cases.
- Procurement efficiency: One kit instead of multiple POs, lowering the risk of revision mismatches.
- Supportability: We can run functional checks and share power‑up/LED verification before shipment.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet environment: Clean, dry MV drive cubicle; maintain ambient within the drive’s rating.
- Mechanical assembly: Apply the OEM‑specified press‑pack clamping force with a calibrated tool; ensure flat, clean heat‑sink faces.
- Wiring & optics: Route fiber links with proper bend radius; verify Tx/Rx orientation; keep gate/emitter leads short and symmetrical.
- Safety: Lockout/tagout; allow DC link to fully discharge; observe ESD precautions for boards and gate unit.
- Commissioning: Confirm stable 24 VDC supply, ground scheme, and interlocks; check status LEDs and diagnostics before enabling.
- Routine care: Quarterly dust removal, connector reseat checks, and periodic thermal scans of the stack under load.
Quality & Certifications
- Quality system: Manufactured under ISO 9001 processes (typical for ABB drive components).
- Compliance: Intended for use inside CE/UL‑listed MV drive systems; RoHS status may vary by production year.
- Warranty: 365‑day warranty from shipment date.
Share the drive platform, stack position, and current part revisions, and we’ll double‑check interchangeability of 5SHX2645L0002, 3BHB012961R0001, and 3BHE009681R0101 (GVC750BE01) and prepare test reports prior to shipment.
