Description
ABB 5SHX0845F0001 3BHL000385P0101 is a high-voltage and high-power power electronic device, mainly applied in fields such as High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS), and large industrial motor drives. In HVDC transmission, it can achieve efficient conversion and transmission of electrical energy, and control the on-off and direction of the current; in the FACTS system, it can be used to adjust parameters such as the voltage and power factor of the power system, improving the stability and reliability of the power system.
Its working principle is based on the basic characteristics of thyristors: 1. Basic Structure and Principle Foundation: A thyristor is essentially a four-layer, three-terminal semiconductor device, composed of four layers of semiconductor materials (P-type and N-type semiconductors arranged alternately), forming three PN junctions. ABB 5SHX0845F0001 also has such a basic structure, with three electrodes: the anode (A), the cathode (K), and the gate (G). 2. Blocking States (Forward Blocking and Reverse Blocking): Forward Blocking: When the anode is connected to the positive pole of the power supply and the cathode is connected to the negative pole of the power supply (that is, a forward voltage is applied), but no trigger signal is applied to the gate, the thyristor is in the forward blocking state. At this time, the internal PN junction forms a blocking layer, preventing the current from flowing from the anode to the cathode. The thyristor is equivalent to an open switch, and only a very small leakage current passes through. Reverse Blocking: When the anode is connected to the negative pole of the power supply and the cathode is connected to the positive pole of the power supply (a reverse voltage is applied), regardless of whether there is a trigger signal at the gate, the thyristor is in the reverse blocking state. Similarly, only a very small reverse leakage current exists, and the current cannot flow from the cathode to the anode. 3. Triggered Conduction: When a forward voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode, and an appropriate forward trigger voltage (current) is also applied between the gate and the cathode, the electrons and holes inside the thyristor are excited, breaking the original blocking state. The electric field generated by the gate trigger current will prompt more carriers (electrons and holes) to be injected into the thyristor, causing the internal PN junction of the thyristor to lose its blocking ability. Thus, the thyristor conducts, and the current can smoothly flow from the anode to the cathode. At this time, the thyristor is like a closed switch, allowing a large current to pass through. 4. Conduction Maintenance: Once the thyristor is conducting, even if the gate trigger signal is removed, as long as the forward voltage between the anode and the cathode continues to exist, the thyristor will continue to maintain the conducting state. This is because in the conducting state, the carrier movement inside the thyristor has formed a self-sustaining current path, and no gate signal is required to maintain the conduction. 5. Turn-off Conditions: To turn off a conducting thyristor, the anode current must be reduced below a critical value (called the holding current), or the voltage between the anode and the cathode must be reduced to zero or become a reverse voltage. When the anode current is reduced below the holding current, the number of carriers inside the thyristor is insufficient to maintain the conducting state, and the thyristor will return to the blocking state.
