Description
Product Overview
The ABB 5SHX1060H0001 is an Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) power semiconductor module used in ABB medium-voltage drive equipment. ABB identifies the current product ID as 3BHL000392P0101 and catalogs the device specifically as an IGCT MODULE. The published technical designation is 68MM/6KV COATED, placing this component in ABB’s high-power semiconductor family rather than in the conventional PLC or DCS I/O category. ABB’s catalog also lists the ACS1000 among the products where the part is used as a spare.
In an installed drive, the ABB 5SHX1060H0001 operates as a high-energy switching device within the converter power stage. It must be considered together with the associated gate-drive hardware, mechanical clamping arrangement, cooling system, bus structure, and converter control electronics. A commonly associated gate-drive assembly is 3BHB003230R0101 / GVC704 AE01, which is specifically described as the gate unit used to drive the 5SHX1060H0001 IGCT. That distinction matters during procurement: the semiconductor itself is not the same item as the gate-drive board.
The 5SHX1060H0001 is particularly relevant to ACS1000 legacy drive maintenance and power-stage repair. ABB’s catalog data gives a 2.11 kg net weight and dimensions of approximately 199 × 240 × 61 mm. The catalog also marks the component as subject to international export control under the cited classification, so procurement teams handling international shipments should check the applicable requirements before dispatch.
For replacement work, do not select an IGCT solely from a similar-looking housing or a nominal voltage figure. Semiconductor gate characteristics, mounting dimensions, gate-driver compatibility, cooling interface, and the exact converter revision all matter. A technically similar IGCT can still be the wrong spare for a specific ACS1000 power stack.
Product Introduction (Non-Templated)
Power-stage failures are different from ordinary control-board replacements. The ABB 5SHX1060H0001 sits directly in the high-energy conversion path, where semiconductor characteristics and gate-drive compatibility have to match the original design. ABB identifies it as a 68 mm / 6 kV coated IGCT module for its drive spare-parts portfolio.
For an ACS1000 legacy replacement, verify the complete semiconductor identification, associated gate unit, mechanical mounting arrangement, and cooling hardware before ordering. The related 3BHB003230R0101 gate-drive assembly should not be confused with the IGCT itself.

ABB’s catalog is the safer source for the core identification: it explicitly assigns 3BHL000392P0101 to 5SHX1060H0001 and lists the technical information as 68MM/6KV COATED. It does not provide enough public catalog information to responsibly fill every dynamic electrical parameter, so values such as continuous current, turn-off energy, gate current, and switching limits should be taken from the applicable ABB semiconductor data sheet or the drive’s engineering documentation rather than guessed.

FAQ
What is the ABB 5SHX1060H0001 used for?
It is an IGCT power semiconductor module used in ABB medium-voltage drive power-conversion equipment, with ABB catalog data specifically associating the part with the family.
Is 5SHX1060H0001 the same thing as 3BHL000392P0101?
Yes. 3BHL000392P0101 is the ABB product ID associated with the ABB type designation 5SHX1060H0001. The older product identifiers should still be checked against the physical label and procurement documentation before replacement.
Is the 5SHX1060H0001 a gate-driver board?
No. This distinction is important. The 5SHX1060H0001 is the IGCT semiconductor module. The associated 3BHB003230R0101 / GVC704 AE01 is the gate-drive assembly used to control the IGCT.
What does “68MM/6KV COATED” mean?
ABB’s catalog uses this as the technical designation for the component. 68 mm identifies the device format, while 6 kV identifies its voltage class. “Coated” refers to the device’s specified protective construction. It should not be interpreted as a complete converter voltage rating.
Can I substitute another ABB 6 kV IGCT?
Not automatically. A matching nominal voltage is only one parameter. The replacement must also agree with the gate-driver characteristics, semiconductor electrical parameters, physical mounting, cooling interface, and converter topology. For an repair, the original drive configuration should be checked before approving a cross-reference.
Can I hot-swap the 5SHX1060H0001?
No assumption of hot swapping should be made. This is a high-energy power semiconductor installed in a medium-voltage converter. Replacement requires the drive to be isolated, discharged, and maintained according to the applicable ABB service procedure. Mechanical mounting and thermal-interface requirements are also part of the replacement process.
Does a New Surplus 5SHX1060H0001 include the gate-drive board?
Not unless the supplied item is specifically identified as an assembly containing it. The ABB catalog identifies 5SHX1060H0001 / 3BHL000392P0101 as an IGCT module, while 3BHB003230R0101 is a separate associated gate-drive component. Confirm the exact item photographed and labeled before purchase.
