8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between this PM kit and 3BHB045647R0001? Which one should I choose?

A: Both 3BHB045647R0003 and 3BHB045647R0001 are ABB PM power module kits, compatible with the same 91mm IGCT (GV C736 CE101). The main difference is the number of IGCTs:

  • 3BHB045647R0003: Contains 2 pieces of IGCT, suitable for single module fault replacement, phase module maintenance, and minimum spare parts stocking
  • 3BHB045647R0001: Contains 12 pieces of IGCT, suitable for complete power stage replacement, large project procurement, and bulk spare parts stocking

Selection recommendations:

  • If it is for single IGCT fault replacement, or you only need a small amount of emergency spare parts, choose R0003 (2 pieces)
  • If it is for complete drive power stage replacement, or large-volume project procurement, choose R0001 (12 pieces)
  • You can also select based on your specific drive configuration and maintenance needs, and we can assist in confirming the required quantity

Q2: What configuration does 2 IGCTs correspond to? How many does my drive need per phase module?

A: The 2-IGCT configuration typically corresponds to paired replacement for one phase module or minimum emergency spare parts package. The number of IGCTs used per phase module varies depending on the drive topology:

  • 2-level inverter: Usually requires 2 IGCTs per phase (one for upper and lower arm each), 2-piece/kit exactly meets one phase replacement
  • 3-level NPC inverter: Usually requires 4 IGCTs per phase, 2-piece/kit meets half-phase or one pair of bridge arms replacement
  • Other topologies: Varies based on specific configuration

The exact number of IGCTs your drive needs per phase module depends on the drive model, topology, and power rating. Please confirm your specific drive model, or check the power unit configuration diagram in the maintenance manual. We can also assist you in confirming.

Q3: Which drives is this kit compatible with? Can it be used in both 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
  • ACS6000: Medium voltage drive for industrial high-power 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: Why is paired replacement within the same phase module recommended? Can I replace just one?

A: Paired replacement within the same phase module is recommended mainly based on the following considerations:

  1. Parameter consistency: IGCT devices have some parameter dispersion, devices from the same batch have closer parameters. Paired replacement ensures parameter matching of upper and lower arms or adjacent devices within the same phase module, avoiding switching imbalance and thermal stress unevenness caused by parameter differences
  2. Life matching: If one IGCT has already failed or aged, other IGCTs in the same phase module have usually experienced the same operating time and stress, and may be approaching end of life. Replacing only one may lead to another failure shortly, causing secondary downtime
  3. Reliability: Paired replacement can improve the overall reliability of the phase module and reduce future failure risk

Of course, if it is just a sudden failure of a single IGCT and other devices are in good condition, you can replace only the failed one. But from the perspective of long-term reliability and reducing downtime, paired replacement is recommended.

Q5: 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:

  1. Drive reports IGCT-related faults (such as gate fault, overcurrent, temperature alarm, etc.)
  2. IGCT abnormal heating or high temperature
  3. Operating for more than 10 years or 100,000 hours
  4. Preventive maintenance plan recommends replacement
  5. IGCT failure already occurred in the same power unit, recommend paired or complete replacement

It is recommended to regularly monitor IGCT status through ABB monitoring software and develop a preventive maintenance plan.

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 6-12 weeks (ordered from ABB factory). The 2-piece/kit small package may have slightly shorter lead time compared to the 12-piece/kit large package due to fewer devices required. 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 (2×91mm IGCT) is subject to our formal quotation.
