Overview
SINAMICS GM150 as IGCT version
The water-cooled SINAMICS GM150 converters in the IGCT
version with IGCT Motor Modules represent an expansion of the
SINAMICS GM150 converters in the IGBT version in the upper
power range up to 21 MVA.
SINAMICS GM150 converters as IGCT version are optimally
matched to Siemens motors.
SINAMICS GM150 converters as IGCT version offer economic
drive solutions that can be matched to customers' specific re-
quirements by adding from the wide range of available compo-
nents and options.
IGCT converters are available for the following voltage and
outputs:
Global use
SINAMICS GM150 converters as IGCT version are manufac-
tured to international standards and regulations, making them
ideally suited for global use. These converters are also available
in ship-going form (meeting the requirements of all major
classification organizations).

Benefits
7
Compact design and high flexibility in configuration ensures
easy plant integration
7
Easy operation and monitoring on the convenient operator
panel
7
Easy and reliable operation through integrated maintenance
functions: the converter signals early and automatically if
maintenance is required or components need to be ex-
changed
7
High robustness and reliability due to the use of IGCT power
semiconductors in the high power range and fuseless installa-
tion combined with intelligent reaction to external distur-
bances
7
Can be easily integrated into automation solutions due to
PROFIBUS interface supplied as standard and various analog
and digital interfaces
7
High level of service-friendliness through innovative power
section design with compact phase modules and easy access
to all components
■
Design
SINAMICS GM150 converters in the IGCT version are available
in the basic connection with a 12-pulse or 24-pulse Basic Line
Module (option).
For greater output ratings, two or three complete converter units
with isolated DC links are operated in parallel.
Phase components in which IGCTs, diodes etc. are grouped
together in one pressure stack are used in the Motor Modules.
The converter consists of cabinet units for the Basic Line Module
and for the Motor Module. One of three phase modules and the
control section in the Motor Module cabinet unit are highlighted
in the illustration.
