Technical Parameters

• 
  

• Rated Voltage: Usually 4500V (there may be slight differences in different application scenarios and product batches). It has excellent high-voltage withstand capacity, can well adapt to the stringent requirements of medium and high-voltage power systems, ensures stable operation in high-voltage environments, and provides reliable voltage support for the system.

• Rated Current: Reaches 4400A. Its strong current-carrying capacity enables it to easily drive various high-power equipment, meeting the requirements for large current transmission and control in scenarios such as large industrial motors and high-voltage direct current transmission.

• Peak Forward Current: Approximately 6300A. This means that when the module is faced with an instantaneous high-current impact, it can quickly respond and maintain its own safe and stable operation, effectively ensuring the normal operation of the system under extreme working conditions and avoiding equipment damage caused by current impact.

• On-State Voltage Drop: Generally around 2.5V. The low on-state voltage drop greatly reduces power loss, improves energy utilization efficiency, and can significantly reduce energy consumption costs for users in long-term operation, conforming to the development trend of energy conservation and emission reduction in modern industry.

• Gate Trigger Current: Approximately 0.6A. Only a very small trigger current is needed to precisely control the conduction of the module, achieving efficient and sensitive control response, which helps to improve the accuracy and stability of the entire control system.

• Operating Temperature Range: -40℃ to +85℃; storage temperature range: -40℃ to +125℃. Such a wide temperature adaptation range allows the module to work normally under different ambient temperature conditions, whether in hot industrial workshops or cold outdoor substations, it can stably exert its performance.

• Protection Rating: Commonly IP20. This protection rating can provide a certain degree of protection for the module, effectively preventing the intrusion of foreign objects, reducing the probability of faults caused by foreign object interference, and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

• Cooling Method: Provides multiple options such as natural cooling and water cooling. Users can flexibly choose a suitable cooling method according to the heat dissipation requirements of the actual application scenario and cost considerations, ensuring that the module always maintains a good heat dissipation state during operation and maintains stable performance.

• Overall Dimensions: Approximately 350mm in length, 200mm in width, and 180mm in height. The compact structural design allows it to be easily installed and arranged inside equipment with limited space, facilitating system integrators to build systems and install equipment.

Functional Features

• 
  

• Fast Switching Performance: It has an extremely fast switching speed and can accurately complete the on and off operations in a very short time. This feature makes it perform excellently in high-frequency application scenarios and can greatly improve power conversion efficiency. For example, in variable frequency speed control systems with extremely high response speed requirements, 3BHB018104R0001 can quickly adjust the output frequency to achieve stable and efficient speed regulation of the motor, effectively improving the operation accuracy and efficiency of production equipment.

• High Voltage and Large Current Handling Capacity: It has strong high-voltage and large-current withstand capacity and can easily cope with complex high-voltage and high-power electrical environments. In key fields such as high-voltage direct current transmission and large industrial motor drives, this module can operate stably, ensuring reliable power supply for the system and normal operation of equipment, and providing a solid power control foundation for industrial production and power transmission.

• Low On-State Voltage Drop: The low voltage drop during conduction effectively reduces power loss and significantly improves energy utilization efficiency. During long-term operation, it can save a lot of electricity costs for users, help enterprises achieve energy conservation and emission reduction goals, and also meet the requirements of green industrial development.

• High Reliability: Made of advanced packaging technology and high-quality materials, the module has a sturdy and durable structure and excellent anti-vibration and anti-impact performance. It can still work stably for a long time in harsh industrial environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong electromagnetic interference, greatly reducing equipment failure rates, reducing maintenance frequency and costs, and improving the overall availability of the system.

• Good Compatibility: It strictly follows industry-universal communication protocols and interface standards and can be well adapted to various power system equipment and different circuit topologies. Whether it is a traditional power system or an emerging distributed energy access system, 3BHB018104R0001 can be easily integrated into the existing system and work collaboratively with other equipment, providing convenience for system upgrading and optimization, and having strong versatility and flexibility.
