Why Engineers Specify This Model
- 3300 V Blocking Voltage: Directly addresses medium-voltage bus requirements without series-stacking lower-rated devices, reducing BOM complexity and gate-drive channel count.
- 1400 A Continuous Current: Supports multi-MW converter designs in a single-module footprint, minimizing parallel-device derating calculations.
- Press-Pack Construction: Eliminates wire-bond fatigue failure modes common in baseplate modules — critical for high-cycle traction and wind applications with frequent thermal cycling.
- ABB StakPak® Compatibility: Enables modular stacking for series/parallel configurations in multi-level converter topologies (NPC, ANPC, MMC).
- Low Tail-Current Design: Optimized for low switching losses at medium frequencies, directly reducing heatsink size and cooling system CAPEX.
- Proven Field Reliability: ABB’s 5SHY series has accumulated millions of operating hours in global traction and drive installations.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 5SHY3545L0020 be used in a 3-level NPC inverter topology?
A: Yes. The 3300 V rating is well-suited for the outer switch positions in a 3-level NPC converter operating from a 2800–3000 V DC link. Consult ABB application note 5SYA 2053 for NPC design guidelines.
Q: What gate resistance is recommended for this module?
A: ABB recommends Rg(on) and Rg(off) values in the range of 1.5–3.3 Ω for this device class. Refer to the official datasheet 5SYA 1401 for switching energy vs. gate resistance curves.
Q: Is double-sided cooling mandatory for press-pack modules?
A: Double-sided cooling is strongly recommended to achieve rated current capacity and maximize module lifetime. Single-sided cooling is possible at derated current levels — contact our engineering team for derating curves.
Q: What is the minimum clamping force for the press-pack assembly?
A: ABB specifies a clamping force of 60–80 kN for the 5SHY3545L0020 press-pack assembly. Incorrect clamping is the leading cause of premature failure — always use a calibrated torque system.
Q: Do you offer incoming inspection reports?
A: Yes. A parametric test report can be provided upon request for orders of 2 or more units. Contact us before placing your order to arrange this service.
