Description
Product Overview
The ABB 5SHX1060H0002 is an Integrated Gate-Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) module designed for high-power converter applications. ABB cross-reference data identifies the component with product ID 3BHL000388P0101, while technical catalog listings describe it as a 68 mm / 6 kV IGCT module. This places the ABB 5SHX1060H0002 in the power-semiconductor section of ABB medium-voltage converter equipment rather than the PLC, DCS, or conventional automation I/O category.
The device is used as a controlled high-power switching element within converter topologies. Available ACS6000 technical material associates the 5SHX1060H0002 with IGCT-based power conversion, including active rectifier and voltage-source converter architectures. The IGCT technology is intended for high-power switching with reduced external snubber requirements, while the gate-control interface provides the switching command and status feedback required by the converter power unit.
From a maintenance perspective, the ABB 5SHX1060H0002 should be treated as a matched power-stage component, not simply as a generic 6 kV thyristor. Mechanical clamping, cooling, gate-drive compatibility, semiconductor characteristics, and converter revision all matter. A part with the same nominal voltage but a different device family or gate interface is not automatically an acceptable substitute.
For procurement, the identification is particularly important because the related ABB family contains several visually similar 68 mm IGCT devices. The 5SHX1060H0001 is a different part, while the 5SHX1060H0002 is identified with 3BHL000388P0101. Do not collapse these two part numbers into one cross-reference simply because both carry the 5SHX1060H designation.
Product Introduction (Non-Templated)
A failed IGCT can shut down an entire medium-voltage converter power stage, but replacing it is not a simple matter of matching voltage and physical diameter. The ABB 5SHX1060H0002 is a 68 mm, 6 kV-class IGCT module intended for ABB high-power converter architectures.
For an ACS6000 legacy replacement, verify the complete semiconductor marking, gate-drive assembly, mechanical mounting, cooling interface, and converter revision before installation. The 5SHX1060H0002 should not be treated as interchangeable with other 5SHX devices without engineering confirmation.

ABB-related catalog data identifies 3BHL000388P0101 as the product ID for 5SHX1060H0002, with a net weight of approximately 2.1 kg and technical designation 68MM / 6 KV COATED.
Some secondary listings publish current ratings such as 600 A and describe the component as a reverse-conducting IGCT. Those figures should be treated cautiously unless matched to the exact ABB datasheet and device revision. The available cross-reference evidence is strong for the part number, product type, 68 mm format, and 6 kV designation; it is not strong enough to justify filling every electrical rating from reseller data alone.

FAQ
What is ABB 5SHX1060H0002?
The ABB 5SHX1060H0002 is an IGCT power semiconductor module. ABB cross-reference information identifies it with product ID 3BHL000388P0101 and a 68 mm / 6 kV technical designation.
Is 5SHX1060H0002 the same as 3BHL000388P0101?
Yes. Available ABB product cross-reference data identifies 3BHL000388P0101 as the product ID for 5SHX1060H0002. When purchasing a replacement, it is sensible to verify both numbers against the physical label.
Is the 5SHX1060H0002 a PLC or DCS module?
No. It is a power semiconductor module used in converter equipment. Its function is switching power in the converter stage, not executing PLC logic or providing standard DCS I/O.
Is the 5SHX1060H0002 used in the ACS6000?
Available ABB-related technical material associates this IGCT technology with the ACS6000 medium-voltage converter platform, including active-rectifier and three-level voltage-source converter configurations. The exact device assignment should still be checked against the specific converter power-unit documentation.
Can I replace 5SHX1060H0002 with 5SHX1060H0001?
Do not assume so. Both belong to the 5SHX1060 family, but they have different complete part numbers and product IDs. The H0001 is identified as 3BHL000392P0101, while H0002 is 3BHL000388P0101. A replacement decision should be based on the converter’s approved bill of materials and semiconductor data, not just the shared prefix.
Can I hot-swap the 5SHX1060H0002?
No. This is a high-power semiconductor installed in a converter power stage. The equipment must be isolated and made electrically safe according to the applicable ABB maintenance procedure before removing the device. Mechanical clamping and thermal-interface requirements also need to be followed.
What should I verify before buying a New Surplus 5SHX1060H0002?
Check 5SHX1060H0002, 3BHL000388P0101, the physical device markings, package condition, and any available manufacturing/revision information. For an installed or similar converter, also verify the associated gate-drive hardware and the exact power-stack configuration. A factory-sealed device is useful, but correct device identification and system compatibility remain the critical checks.
