Key Features
  • Direct‑mount gate unit for IGCTs – Attaches to the press‑pack device, minimizing loop inductance and improving commutation margins.

  • Fiber‑optic command and feedback – Immune to EMC noise typical in MV switch cabinets; simplifies long‑distance control routing.

  • High peak gate current drive – Delivers fast turn‑on/turn‑off pulses for low losses and clean switching, especially under high dI/dt.

  • Integrated protection logic – Typically includes desaturation/overcurrent response, status indication, and safe‑off behavior on supply loss.

  • 24 VDC supply – Common control power for industrial cabinets; simplifies retrofits.

  • Ruggedized for MV environments – Designed for operation across a wide temperature range with consistent timing behavior.

Technical Specifications
Brand / Model ABB 5SHX19L6020 (IGCT Gate Unit)
HS Code 8543.70 (Electrical apparatus having individual functions, n.e.s.)
Power Requirements 24 VDC ±10%; consumption typically 10–20 W during operation
Dimensions & Weight Approx. Ø160 × 50 mm; ~1.2 kg (typical for this series)
Operating Temperature −40 °C to +60 °C (operating), up to +85 °C (storage) in many cases
Signal Inputs/Outputs Fiber‑optic ON/OFF command input, fiber‑optic status/feedback; NTC/temperature monitoring input; gate connection to IGCT
Communication Interfaces Industrial fiber‑optic links (ST‑type connectors, Rx/Tx)
Installation Method Direct mounting on press‑pack IGCT within the converter stack; clamp‑ring fastening; 24 VDC supply and FO routing to control rack
Typical Compatibility ABB RC‑IGCT devices in the 4.5–6.5 kV class (verify exact device/frame pairing)
Application Fields

This gate unit is typically used in:

  • Medium‑voltage drives for cement, mining, metals, and oil & gas compressors

  • Traction converters and auxiliary inverters

  • Static VAR compensators (SVC/STATCOM) and grid‑tied power quality systems

  • High‑power wind turbine converters and test benches

  • Large UPS and research pulse‑power converters

Advantages & Value
  • Reliability under real loads – Stable timing and strong gate pulses reduce mis‑turn‑off risks, especially during line dips.

  • Compatibility – Works with established ABB IGCT frames, so you can service existing stacks without redesigning the control rack.

  • Lower integration cost – Fiber‑optic isolation eliminates extra EMC filtering and simplifies cabinet wiring.

  • Predictable lifecycle support – ABB documentation and long‑term spares policy ease qualification and audits.

A drive OEM told us they swapped in 5SHX19L6020 on a 6‑pulse stack during a forced outage and had it synchronized within a shift; the fiber link and 24 V supply alignment saved them a full day of rewiring.

Installation & Maintenance
  • Environment – Install in a sealed MV cabinet with adequate ventilation or forced air. Keep away from conductive dust and condensation.

  • Mounting – Seat the gate unit squarely on the IGCT; apply the specified press‑pack clamping force. Verify flatness and cleanliness of mating surfaces.

  • Wiring – Provide a regulated 24 VDC supply; route fiber‑optic Rx/Tx clear of sharp bends and high‑EMI paths. Confirm polarity of FO channels before energizing.

  • Safety – De‑energize and discharge DC links before handling. Observe ESD precautions when connecting control leads.

  • Routine maintenance – Inspect connectors quarterly; clean dust with dry air; check FO signal levels; update firmware if applicable; verify temperature sensor readings during scheduled downtime.

  • Commissioning tips – Measure propagation delay and confirm interlock behavior with a low‑energy source first; then ramp to full current to validate margins.

Quality & Certifications
  • Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems

  • CE marking; RoHS compliance for electronic assemblies

  • Typical conformity with relevant EMC and LV directives for industrial environments

  • Warranty: 12 months (365 days)

Note: Specifications above reflect typical values for the 5SHX gate unit series and seem to be consistent with fielded installations. If you’re pairing 5SHX19L6020 with a specific ABB IGCT part number, share the device code and we’ll confirm exact compatibility and mounting kit before shipment.
