IGCT
Integrated gate-commutated thyristors (IGCT) are used as switching
devices in the inverter section of the phase converter units. IGCTs
combine fast switching capabilities with low losses and enable a drive
design with a low parts count.

Fuseless protection concept
The drive does not require any power fuses. Instead, the IGCTs of the
inverter are used for protection. If an overcurrent occurs, protection firing
is triggered and fault clearing is initialized in less than 25 µs.
