Powerex Intros GCT System Set

Powerex is offering its new GCT (gate commutated thyristor) System Set, intended to make the selection of power components simple for use in high-voltage and high-power applications. The GCT System Set consists of a GCT (FGC4000BX-90DS), an integrated gate driver (GUC-40) and the corresponding free wheel and snubber diodes. The targeted application area for the GCT is medium voltage drives operating from 4160Vac and higher lines and utility-type high voltage power systems. When procured as a set, a sample price is $4,900, with availability in 8 to 12 weeks.
