ABB 3BHB045647R0001 PM Power Module Kit | 12×91mm IGCTs | GV C736 CE101 | PCS6000 MV Drive | Order Available
1. Product Overview
The ABB 3BHB045647R0001 is a PM (Power Module) kit, containing 12 pieces of 91mm size IGCT (Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor) modules, compatible model GV C736 CE101 (also written as GVC736CE101, single IGCT module order no. 3BHE039203R0101).
IGCT is a high-power semiconductor device developed by ABB, combining the high voltage and high current capability of GTO (Gate Turn-Off Thyristor) with the fast switching characteristics of IGBT. It is the core power device for medium voltage drives and high-power power electronics equipment. The 91mm is the large-size specification in ABB's IGCT platform, suitable for 4.5kV/6.5kV voltage levels, with single 2-level inverter output power up to 8MW.
This PM kit provides a complete configuration of 12 IGCT modules for the power units of ABB PCS6000/ACS6000 series medium voltage drives. PCS6000 is ABB's medium voltage full-power converter tailored for large wind turbines and other renewable energy applications, while ACS6000 is ABB's medium voltage drive for industrial high-power applications. A complete power unit or phase module typically requires multiple IGCT modules, and the 12-IGCT configuration can correspond to a complete multi-level inverter power stage or preventive maintenance spare parts package.
Procuring in kit format offers the following advantages: ensuring batch consistency and performance matching of 12 IGCT modules; simplifying procurement process and inventory management; reducing unit procurement cost; facilitating overall replacement and preventive maintenance of drive power units. The same series also includes other configurations such as 3BHB045647R0009 (14×68mm IGCT, GV C704 AE01), to adapt to drives of different power and voltage levels.

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does this PM kit contain? What is the difference from single IGCT modules?
A: The 3BHB045647R0001 PM kit contains 12 pieces of 91mm IGCT modules (model GV C736 CE101, single module order no. 3BHE039203R0101), sold in unified kit packaging. Compared to purchasing single IGCT modules, the PM kit offers the following advantages:
- Batch consistency: 12 modules in the kit are from the same batch, with better parameter consistency
- Price discount: Kit format enjoys bulk purchase price, usually cheaper than buying 12 individually
- Simplified procurement: One order gets the complete set of spare parts, reducing procurement process
- Easy management: Unified packaging and labeling, convenient for inventory management and on-site use If you only need 1-2 modules for fault replacement, you can purchase 3BHE039203R0101 separately; if you need complete replacement or preventive maintenance spare parts, the PM kit is recommended.
Q2: What configuration does 12 IGCTs correspond to? How many does my drive need?
A: The 12-IGCT configuration typically corresponds to a complete multi-level inverter power stage. For example:
- 3-level NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) inverter: 4 IGCTs per phase, 12 total for three phases
- Or some redundant configuration of 2-level inverter The exact number of IGCTs needed depends on your drive model, topology, and power rating. ABB PCS6000/ACS6000 series has multiple power ratings and configurations, different models may use different numbers of IGCTs. Please confirm your specific drive model and power rating, or check the spare parts list in the drive maintenance manual. We can also assist you in confirming the required IGCT quantity and model.
Q3: Which drives is this kit compatible with? What is the difference between PCS6000 and ACS6000?
A: This PM kit is compatible with ABB medium voltage drives using 91mm IGCT (GV C736 CE101), mainly including:
- PCS6000: Medium voltage full-power converter for large wind turbines and renewable energy applications, suitable for offshore wind and onshore high-capacity wind turbines
- ACS6000: Medium voltage drive for industrial high-power applications, suitable for rolling mills, grinding mills, fans, pumps, compressors and other industrial applications Both use the same IGCT power module platform, so the PM kit is interchangeable. However, specific compatibility requires confirming whether your drive uses IGCT model GV C736 CE101 (91mm). Some lower power ratings of PCS6000/ACS6000 may use 51mm or 68mm IGCT, please confirm before purchasing.
Q4: What is the service life of IGCT modules? When do they need replacement?
A: The design life of IGCT modules is typically 10-20 years, but actual life depends on operating conditions:
- Load rate: Long-term high-load operation accelerates aging
- Temperature: Excessive junction temperature and frequent temperature cycling shorten life
- Switching count: Frequent switching and high-current turn-off affect life
- Environmental conditions: Humidity, dust, vibration and other environmental factors The following situations should consider replacing IGCTs:
- Drive reports IGCT-related faults (such as gate fault, overcurrent, temperature alarm, etc.)
- IGCT abnormal heating or high temperature
- Operating for more than 10 years or 100,000 hours
- Preventive maintenance plan recommends replacement
- IGCT failure already occurred in the same power unit, recommend complete replacement to ensure consistency It is recommended to regularly monitor IGCT status through ABB monitoring software and develop a preventive maintenance plan.
Q5: Does replacing IGCT require professional personnel? Can I replace it myself?
A: Replacing IGCT modules involves high-voltage safety operations and precision power device installation, it is strongly recommended that replacement be performed by ABB-trained professional engineers or qualified electrical technicians. During replacement, you need to:
- Strictly follow high-voltage safety operating procedures (power off, voltage test, discharge, lockout/tagout)
- Wear anti-static wrist strap to avoid electrostatic damage to gate unit
- Use special tools for disassembly and installation, ensure tightening torque meets requirements
- Correctly connect fiber optics, power and control cables
- Perform functional test and parameter confirmation after replacement
- Check cooling contact surfaces, replace thermal grease or thermal pad if necessary If you do not have relevant experience and qualifications, it is recommended to contact ABB authorized service team or professional maintenance service provider for replacement, to ensure personal safety and equipment safety.
Q6: Is this kit in stock? What is the lead time? What is the approximate price?
A: This model is currently in order available status, standard lead time 8-16 weeks (ordered from ABB factory). PM kits are high-value dedicated industrial spare parts, with limited stock inventory, usually requiring production to order or allocation from global inventory. Regarding price, the reference price of the same series 3BHB045647R0009 (14×68mm IGCT) is approximately $58,200, the specific price of this model (12×91mm IGCT) is subject to our formal quotation.
