Traction Gate Drivers for GTO Thyristors

ABB Gate Drivers are designed for triggering large Gate-Turn-Off Thyristors (GTO) featuring gate-turn-off currents up to 3000 Amps and off-state voltages up to 4500 volts.

The control signal, transmitted via fiber optics, controls the output valve of the gate driver.

A feedback signal, also transmitted via fiber optics, is used to check that the gate driver and GTO are operating properly.

This GTO Gate Driver was developed for use in traction systems and is currently being used successfully by numerous customers.

Among these customers are locomotives in the United States, Italy, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland and German railways.

Power Supplies for GTO Gate Drivers

ABB offers Power Supplies developed to match the properties of the GTO Gate Drivers.

The input of the Power Supply is designed for use with batteries. Typical battery inputs are 24 Volts, 36 Volts, 72 Volts, and 110 Volts.

The output from the Power Supply to the GTO Gate Driver is ± 48 Volts, 16 kHZ square wave voltage.
