Collection: ABB IGCT/IGBT Modules

ABB is a leading provider of power semiconductor modules, specializing in IGCTs (Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristors) and IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors), both crucial for high-power electronic systems.

IGCTs are designed for high voltage and current applications, offering the power handling capabilities of thyristors combined with the fast turn-off capability of transistors. They are used in applications like high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, medium-voltage drives, and static VAR compensators (STATCOMs).

IGBTs, on the other hand, are suited for lower-voltage, higher-frequency applications. They offer fast switching speeds and are widely used in industrial motor drives, traction systems (e.g., trains and electric vehicles), and renewable energy systems (e.g., solar inverters).

ABB’s IGCT and IGBT modules are known for their high reliability, efficiency, and performance, making them essential for controlling and switching high electrical power. The selection between IGCTs and IGBTs depends on the specific voltage, current, and switching frequency requirements of each application. ABB offers a wide range of these modules to meet diverse industry needs, ensuring superior performance in demanding applications.
