Product Introduction
Every unexpected failure of medium voltage drive power modules leads to costly plant shutdown — this is where ABB 5SHX1960L0006 serves as a critical maintenance spare. It comes pre-matched with 3BHB016120R0002 gate drive unit, forming a complete power switching assembly.
Compared with low-power thyristor alternatives, this IGCT module delivers faster turn-off performance and stable operation under heavy cyclic loads. It is widely matched to ABB ACS6000 medium voltage drives. Verified field data shows stable performance under continuous variable torque loads common in rolling mills and mine conveyors.

Quick Conclusions
- This assembly is a dedicated spare part for ABB medium voltage ACS6000 drives; do not use on unvalidated third-party inverters.
- Always confirm both codes: 5SHX1960L0006 power chip AND 3BHB016120R0002 gate unit before ordering.
- New original factory stock is no longer manufactured; available stock is new surplus inventory.
- Strict ESD protection is mandatory during module disassembly and installation.
- Full live bench test reports can be supplied before shipment upon customer request.
FAQ
- Can I use this module to replace 5SHY series IGCT?
No. 5SHX and 5SHY series differ in internal structure and gate drive logic. Cross replacement triggers communication faults.
- Is the gate unit 3BHB016120R0002 sold separately?
We provide matched sets. Separated power chip or gate unit is not recommended for on-site maintenance. Mismatch will cause switching failure.
- What test items will be carried out before delivery?
Visual inspection, insulation resistance testing, fiber communication handshake test and continuous power aging test over 24 hours.
- What environments are not suitable for this IGCT module?
It cannot be deployed in low-voltage small inverters without proper water cooling design. Heat overload will accelerate device degradation.
Release Channel Suggestion
- Official website / B2B product page: Use full version, retain complete specification table and compatibility reminder.
- Social media & short product brief: Condense into model + compatible drive + stock status, remove full parameter table.
- Q&A platform content: Focus on replacement matching rules and common installation faults.
If you need the second or third version later, just let me know, I will only output one single version each time.
