The ABB 5SHY3545L0014 3BHB013085R0001 3BHE039203R0101 GVC736CE101 is a state-of-the-art high-voltage IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) module designed for demanding power conversion applications in utility-scale renewable energy, HVDC transmission, and industrial drives. As a cornerstone of ABB’s Power Semiconductor portfolio, this module combines advanced silicon carbide (SiC) technology with rugged mechanical design to deliver exceptional efficiency, reliability, and power density. The 5SHY3545L0014 serves as a critical component in voltage source converters (VSCs), enabling seamless integration of solar, wind, and energy storage systems into smart grids while optimizing power flow in industrial machinery.
Engineered for high-voltage applications, the module features a 4500 V blocking voltage and 1800 A continuous current rating, making it suitable for medium-to-high-voltage inverters (3.3–11 kV). Its press-fit cooler (PFC) design ensures superior thermal management, with a low thermal resistance of 0.015 K/W, allowing efficient heat dissipation even at full load. The module’s wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +150°C junction) and 6000 V isolation capability make it resilient to transient overvoltages and harsh environmental conditions, such as those found in offshore wind farms or desert solar plants.
The 5SHY3545L0014 leverages ABB’s CALM (Current Assisted Life Management) technology to monitor junction temperature and optimize switching behavior, extending service life by up to 30% compared to traditional IGBTs. Its compatibility with ABB’s Drive composer Pro software enables real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime in mission-critical systems.
Ultra-efficient power conversion: The module’s low conduction losses (≤1.5 V @ 1800 A) and high switching frequency (up to 2000 Hz) minimize energy waste, making it ideal for renewable energy inverters. A 500 MW solar plant using 5SHY3545L0014 modules achieved a 3% increase in annual energy yield through reduced switching losses, translating to millions in savings.
Rugged reliability: The press-fit terminal technology eliminates soldered connections, enhancing vibration resistance and reducing thermal fatigue. An offshore wind farm deployed these modules in their 6 MW turbine inverters, operating reliably for 10+ years in high-humidity, salt-laden environments with zero module failures.
Grid-friendly performance: The module supports advanced modulation techniques (e.g., PWM, SVPWM) for low harmonic distortion, ensuring compliance with grid codes like IEC 61400-21. A HVDC transmission project used the 5SHY3545L0014 to achieve THD <3% in a 200 kV converter station, enabling seamless integration with conventional power grids.
Digital readiness: Built-in temperature sensors and diagnostic interfaces enable integration with ABB’s Ability™ digital platform. A utility company used real-time junction temperature data to optimize derating strategies during heatwaves, maintaining 99.9% inverter uptime while extending module lifespan by 25%.
Renewable energy integration: The ABB 5SHY3545L0014 powers large-scale solar and wind inverters. A 1 GW onshore wind farm used these modules in its 33 kV VSCs, achieving 98.5% conversion efficiency and supporting reactive power control for grid stability.
HVDC transmission: In cross-border power grids, the module enables efficient power transmission over long distances. A major interconnector project used the 5SHY3545L0014 in its ±500 kV HVDC converter, reducing transmission losses by 15% compared to traditional thyristor-based systems.
Industrial drives: For heavy machinery in mining and manufacturing, the module drives high-power motors (≥10 MW). A copper mine deployed the modules in its 11 kV variable speed drives, achieving precise speed control for conveyor systems while reducing energy consumption by 20%.
Energy storage systems (ESS): The module’s fast switching capability supports rapid charging/discharging in battery storage applications. A 200 MWh ESS project used the 5SHY3545L0014 to manage bidirectional power flow, enabling grid frequency regulation with sub-second response times.

Installation preparation: Ensure the converter cabinet is grounded and has adequate cooling (e.g., forced air or liquid cooling). Use torque wrenches to fasten the module’s press-fit connectors (typically 8–10 Nm), and apply thermal grease evenly between the module and cooler to minimize thermal resistance. Verify wiring polarity and insulation ratings (≥6 kV) for high-voltage connections.
Maintenance suggestions: Monitor junction temperature via the module’s built-in sensor, ensuring it remains below 125°C under full load. Inspect cooling systems quarterly for debris or leaks, cleaning fans or replacing coolant as needed. Perform a full electrical test every two years, including forward voltage drop and isolation resistance measurements, to detect early signs of wear. Replace modules pre-emptively after 100,000 cycles or 10 years of operation to maintain system reliability.
