ABB 5SHY3545L0016/3BHB020720R0002 Product Overview
Hey friends,the ABB 5SHY3545L0016(part number 3BHB020720R0002)we’re discussing today is no ordinary electronic component;it’s the heart of a high-power rectifier system!Imagine a large steel mill’s rolling mill drive system,where thousands of amperes of current must be precisely controlled—who bears this immense weight?It’s this thyristor module!
This 5SHY3545L0016,scientifically known as a high-voltage,high-current silicon-controlled thyristor(SCR)power module,is a core switching device in industrial rectifiers,inverters,and DC power supplies.It’s no low-power”chip component,”but a powerhouse capable of handling 1600A and 4500V.Its pressure-contact design presses directly onto the water-cooled radiator,dissipating the immense heat via circulating cooling water.
Its greatest value lies in its high reliability and high-power handling capability.In situations where a single blown tube could halt production for millions of dollars,this module is a reassurance.Its 4500V withstand voltage allows it to withstand fluctuations in the high-voltage grid;its 1600A current allows it to drive massive motors;and its water-cooled heat dissipation ensures long-term full-load operation without derating.
The 5SHY3545L0016 is widely used in heavy industrial applications such as rolling mills,aluminum electrolysis,mine hoists,ship propulsion,and large UPS systems.It’s crucial for any application requiring high-power AC/DC or DC/AC conversion.Despite the emergence of new technologies like IGBTs,thyristors remain king in ultra-high-power,high-reliability applications.
Main Features and Advantages
First,let’s discuss its exceptional power handling capability.The ABB 5SHY3545L0016 can operate stably at 4500V and deliver a forward current of 1600A,making it suitable for industrial grid systems of 6kV and above.Its low forward voltage drop(≤3.0V)minimizes conduction losses,resulting in high efficiency and minimal heat generation.
Next,consider its advanced cooling technology.Forced water cooling significantly improves heat dissipation compared to air cooling.Combined with a deionized water circulation system,it can operate continuously at full power even in high ambient temperatures.Its low thermal resistance of 0.015°C/W ensures stable junction temperature.
The pressure contact design is a core advantage.It eliminates the need for welding and is clamped to the water cooling plate via precision bolts,making it easy to install and disassemble,with low contact resistance and high reliability.It is suitable for industrial sites with frequent maintenance.
High robustness and long life.ABB’s mature wafer technology provides strong surge resistance and can withstand short-term overcurrent and overvoltage.The pressure contact design allows for over 50 disassembly and assembly cycles,reducing maintenance costs.
System-level reliability is paramount.As an ABB-branded power module,it is fully compatible with the rectifier cabinet design,driver board,and protection circuitry,ensuring precise triggering and timely protection,avoiding explosions caused by false triggering or failure to trigger.
The ABB 5SHY3545L0016(3BHB020720R0002)is a high-power,water-cooled thyristor module designed for industrial rectifier and converter applications.Rated at 1600A and 4500V,it features a pressure-contact design for efficient thermal management via a water-cooled heatsink.Engineered for extreme reliability,it delivers low on-state voltage(≤3.0V),high surge current capability,and robust performance in demanding environments such as steel mill drives,mining hoists,and aluminum electrolysis.With a thermal resistance of only 0.015°C/W and a rugged construction,it ensures stable operation under full load,making it a critical component in high-power ABB drive systems.
Application areas
The main battlefield of this ABB 5SHY3545L0016 is those industrial systems that are”huge in power and cannot be shut down”.You’ll find it in the main drive cabinets of rolling mills in steel mills,controlling the motors of 10,000-ton presses;in rectifier stations at aluminum smelters,it converts AC power to DC;in hoist control systems at large mines,it ensures smooth startup and shutdown;and in ship electric propulsion systems,it manages megawatts of power.
Wherever high-power controlled rectification is required,the 5SHY3545L0016 is the”power switch.”Its genuine quality is a guarantee of system stability,especially in rectifier cabinet modifications,spare parts replacements,and system upgrades.
Selection Guide/Purchasing Recommendations
Before purchasing the ABB 5SHY3545L0016,confirm three points:
First,are your system voltage and current compatible?4500V/1600A is a critical requirement;don’t use a lower-voltage module to make do.
Second,verify the cooling method—it must be a water-cooled system,and the water quality,pressure,and temperature must meet the standards;otherwise,the module will overheat and be damaged.
Third,avoid buying disassembled and refurbished parts with”cracked ceramics,oxidized electrodes,and deformed pressure contacts”!Such modules explode as soon as power is applied,effectively a”bomb.”
Our recommendation:Buy modules that have passed reverse voltage testing,gate trigger testing,and visual and insulation inspections to ensure safe installation.
Customer Case Study/Successful Application Analysis
Last year,a thyristor exploded in a rolling mill rectifier cabinet at a steel mill in Hebei Province,halting production.They urgently purchased our ABB 5SHY3545L0016,which was replaced within two hours,restoring the system to normal.The customer commented,”A good thyristor saved millions in losses.A genuine module—a lifesaver!”
