Main Features and Advantages
Ultra-High Power Density: The 5SHY4045L0004 leverages ABB’s MACH 4 IGBT technology to deliver industry-leading power density, enabling smaller converter footprints and reduced installation costs. Its dual-chip design with SiC diodes minimizes forward voltage drop and switching losses, achieving up to 98% efficiency in HVDC applications.
Reliable Thermal Management: The integrated 3BHE039203R0101 water-cooling system ensures low thermal resistance and uniform heat distribution, extending module lifespan and supporting 24/7 operation in high-load scenarios like offshore wind converters. The rugged ceramic substrate and hermetic sealing protect against moisture and contaminants, ensuring reliability in harsh environments.
Advanced Gate Driver Integration: The GVC736CE101 gate driver provides precise control over switching behavior, including soft switching and active clamping to prevent voltage overshoots. This enhances system stability in grid-connected applications, such as HVDC links that require tight synchronization with alternating current (AC) networks.
Scalable for Modular Systems: Designed for use in MMC topologies, the 5SHY4045L0004 can be paralleled to achieve higher current ratings or stacked for increased voltage capability, making it suitable for scalable projects like cross-border HVDC grids or large industrial drives. ABB’s modular design simplifies maintenance, allowing individual modules to be replaced without disrupting the entire system.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparation: Ensure the cooling system (e.g., 3BHE039203R0101) is properly calibrated for flow rate (≥5 L/min) and coolant conductivity (<5 µS/cm). Mount the module on a grounded heat sink using torque-controlled screws (10 N·m), and connect gate driver cables with shielded twisted-pair wiring to minimize EMI. Use ABB’s Drive composer Pro software to configure gate driver parameters (e.g., dead time, clamping voltage).
Maintenance recommendations: Regularly inspect cooling channels for blockages or leaks, and test coolant purity annually. Monitor module temperature via built-in sensors, ensuring junction temperature remains below 125°C under full load. Replace gate driver batteries (if applicable) every 5 years to maintain reliable operation. For predictive maintenance, use ABB’s Ability™ condition monitoring to track switching losses and thermal performance trends.
