Everything You Need to Know About the 800A 80173-109-01-2
What is this module? The 80173-109-01-2 is a gate commutated turn-off (gct) thyristor unit designed for 800A automation systems. repetitive peak reverse voltage (vrrm): 6500V; non-repetitive peak reverse voltage (vrsm): 6500V; repetitive peak off-state voltage (vdrm): 6500V; non-repetitive peak off-state voltage (vdsm): 6500V.
Is it genuine? Yes. Every 800A module we sell is 100% genuine — not a clone, not a compatible replacement, not a refurb sold as new. Manufacturer serial numbers and holographic labels are intact. We provide full traceability documentation with every order.
How fast can I get it? We ship within 24 hours of confirmed payment from our Shenzhen warehouse via DHL Express, FedEx Priority, or UPS Worldwide Express. Typical delivery time is 3–5 business days to most destinations worldwide. Customs documentation is included.
What if it does not work? First, verify the module is installed in the correct chassis slot as configured in your system software. Slot mismatch is the #1 cause of modules that appear DOA but are actually configuration issues. If the module is confirmed defective, we ship an advance replacement immediately under our 12-month warranty — before we even receive the returned unit.
Do I need to buy more than one? For critical chemical processing applications, we recommend N+1 sparing — one spare for every 3–5 installed modules. The carrying cost of a spare is negligible compared to even a few hours of unplanned downtime. Contact us for volume pricing on 5+ units.
