Description

3BHE041464R0101 UDD406A: Product Overview
This assembly is an IGBT power module within ABB’s ACS Series medium voltage drives, designed for heavy-duty industrial motor control applications. In a variable frequency drive (VFD) architecture, it functions as the power conversion core, positioned between the DC bus (supplied by rectifiers) and the motor terminals. Its role is to modulate IGBT switching via pulse-width modulation (PWM) algorithms, synthesizing a sinusoidal output voltage with adjustable frequency (0-120Hz) and amplitude to regulate motor speed and torque.
The core functionality combines IGBT semiconductor switching (for bidirectional power flow) with integrated gate driver and protection circuits. The IGBT module handles 3300V blocking voltage and 1200A continuous current, while the control section implements adaptive PWM to minimize harmonic distortion (THD <5%). It supports scalar and flux-vector control modes, with built-in diagnostics for overcurrent, overtemperature, and DC bus imbalance.
It belongs to the ACS Series, a product family optimized for high-power industrial drives (1MW to 50MW). The platform’s benefits include modular scalability (stacking modules for higher power), compliance with IEC 61800 (VFD standards), and integration with ABB’s DriveWindow software for configuration/monitoring. This ensures compatibility with legacy ACS600/ACS1000 systems and streamlined upgrades.

Core Features & Customer Value​
The module’s design prioritizes power density, thermal efficiency, and fault resilience. The trench gate IGBT technology reduces conduction losses by 20% compared to planar IGBTs, lowering cooling requirements and operational costs—critical for continuous processes like steel rolling mills. Adaptive PWM adjusts switching patterns to minimize harmonic distortion, reducing stress on motor windings and extending insulation life.
Integrated gate drivers with isolated power supplies (±15V) ensure consistent IGBT switching behavior, even in high-noise environments. Built-in protection circuits (OC/OT/UV) trigger soft shutdowns to prevent device damage, while diagnostic outputs (via DriveWindow) provide real-time IGBT junction temperature and current waveform data. For maintenance teams, this predictive capability reduces unplanned downtime by up to 25% in cement plant fan applications.
Water cooling maintains stable performance in high-ambient environments (e.g., desert-based power plants), where air-cooled modules would derate. The modular design allows replacing individual IGBT legs or driver boards without disassembling the entire drive, minimizing repair time from days to hours. Compatibility with ACS Series controllers (e.g., ACS880) enables seamless integration into existing VFD architectures.

Typical Applications​
In a steel mill’s hot strip mill, the module powers a 3.3kV main drive motor (8MW) for roughing mills. Its 1200A current capacity handles peak loads during slab acceleration, while water cooling maintains IGBT temperature below 85°C amid high ambient heat from rolling stands. Adaptive PWM minimizes harmonics, protecting sensitive instrumentation in the mill’s control room.
At a coal-fired power plant, it drives a 3.3kV forced draft fan (3MW) with flux-vector control, adjusting speed to match boiler load. The driver board’s temperature monitoring alerts operators to clogged cooling water filters, preventing overtemperature shutdowns during peak summer demand.
In a mining conveyor system, the module controls a 3.3kV belt drive (6MW) with scalar control for constant torque. The 2400A peak current rating accommodates startup inrush, while CANopen communication (via ACS880 controller) enables synchronization with upstream/downstream conveyors.
