Field Application & Problem Solved

In power generation and petrochemical industries, IGBT module failure is the #1 cause of ABB drive downtime. At a coal-fired power plant in Indiana, a failed legacy IGBT module caused a 5-hour shutdown of a boiler feedwater pump ($520k in lost generation). At a Louisiana refinery, an overheated IGBT destroyed an ACS880 drive cabinet, halting crude distillation for 8 hours ($1.2M in lost production).
The MG200Q2YS40 solves these critical issues by delivering:
  1. High Current/Voltage Ratings: 200A/1200V handles heavy loads in power plant/refinery applications
  2. Low Vce(sat): Reduces power loss by 30% vs. older IGBT generations, lowering heat generation
  3. Fast Switching: 0.5μs turn-on / 1.0μs turn-off minimizes switching losses and improves drive efficiency
  4. Integrated Protection: NTC thermistor enables real-time temperature monitoring to prevent overheating
  5. ABB Compatibility: Direct replacement for ABB’s proprietary IGBT modules, reducing spare part costs by 40-60%
Typical ABB drive applications:
  • ACS800-04: Wall-mounted drives for fans, pumps, and compressors (15-250kW)
  • ACS880-104LC: Liquid-cooled inverter modules for heavy industry (200-1200kW)
  • ACS880-204: IGBT supply modules for common DC bus systems (200-1200kW)
  • ACS600: Legacy medium voltage drives (up to 6.6kV)

Installation & Maintenance Pitfalls (Expert Tips)

  • Static Discharge Destroys IGBTs: At an Illinois power plant, a technician handled the module without an ESD wrist strap, frying the gate oxide layer. Always ground yourself to the drive cabinet chassis, handle the module by the edges, and store in anti-static packaging.
  • Torque Control Prevents Terminal Damage: A Texas refinery technician over-tightened the press-fit terminals, deforming the copper busbars and causing a phase-to-phase short. Use a torque wrench set to 2.5-3.0 Nm for terminal screws—never exceed 3.5 Nm.
  • Thermal Grease Application is Critical: Skipping proper grease application at a Michigan chemical plant caused the module to overheat and fail after 3 months. Use ABB-recommended thermal grease (e.g., Dow Corning 340) applied in a thin, even layer (0.1-0.2mm) to the baseplate.
  • NTC Thermistor Connection is Mandatory: A rookie mistake at a Florida power plant left the NTC thermistor disconnected, preventing the drive from detecting overheating. Always verify continuity between the NTC pins (typically pins 11-12) before installation.
  • Isolation Testing Prevents Ground Faults: A Pennsylvania steel mill installed a module with damaged isolation barriers, causing a ground fault during startup. Perform a 2500VAC insulation resistance test (1 minute) between collector and baseplate before installation—reject modules with <100MΩ resistance.
  • Drive Calibration After Replacement: At a Texas refinery, a technician replaced the module without recalibrating the drive’s overcurrent protection, causing false trips. Use ABB DriveWindow software to reset the IGBT module parameters and calibrate the overcurrent threshold to 120-150% of the module’s rated current (240-300A for MG200Q2YS40).

Technical Deep Dive & Overview

The MG200Q2YS40 is a half-bridge IGBT power module from Toshiba, widely used as a replacement part in ABB industrial drives. It features two IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) and two free-wheeling diodes in a single package, providing the core power switching functionality for ABB ACS800/ACS880 inverters.
Internally, it uses Toshiba’s latest generation IGBT chip technology with a field-stop structure, which reduces Vce(sat) (collector-emitter saturation voltage) to 1.8V (typ) at 200A—significantly lower than older punch-through IGBTs. This reduces power dissipation by 30%, allowing the module to operate at higher current densities without overheating. The integrated free-wheeling diodes use a soft-recovery design, minimizing reverse recovery losses and EMI generation during switching.
What makes it field-tough is its 2500VAC isolation rating (collector-to-baseplate), which meets IEC 60664-1 safety standards for industrial drives. The press-fit terminals provide a reliable, low-resistance connection to ABB drive busbars, while the integrated NTC thermistor enables real-time temperature monitoring via the drive’s control system.
For field teams, it’s the go-to replacement for failed ABB IGBT modules. At a Midwestern power plant, retrofitting legacy ABB drives with MG200Q2YS40 modules reduced drive failures by 90% and extended maintenance intervals from 12 to 24 months. In a Louisiana refinery, its low Vce(sat) reduced drive cabinet temperature by 15°C, improving overall system reliability.
Unlike ABB’s proprietary IGBT modules, the MG200Q2YS40 is cost-effective (40-60% cheaper) and widely available, making it a popular choice for power plant and refinery maintenance teams. It’s the unsung hero of industrial motor control—delivering the reliability, durability, and performance needed to keep critical processes running in the world’s most demanding industrial environments.
