Functional Description

DS200TCQAF1AED is a Software EPROM Set designed and developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark V control system. EPROM components enable the control system to function efficiently. They contain the software code and instructions that govern various aspects of the system's operation, from monitoring and data acquisition to decision-making and control functions. These EPROM sets are designed to be reliable and stable, ensuring the consistent and safe operation of the control system in various industrial applications. 

Mark V panel Equipment Grounding

• Within the Mark V panel, there is a specific setup for managing electrical grounding to ensure safety and minimize electrical interference. Each controller in the panel is furnished with a single control common wire that connects to a critical component known as the panel control common ground bar, often abbreviated as C-comm. This C-comm bar, along with additional shield bars, is intricately linked to the panel ground bar, which is situated at the bottom of the panel. This connection is facilitated through the robust steel structure of the panel.
• Crucially, the panel ground bar must, in turn, be securely fastened to an earth or grid ground utilizing a copper cable with a minimum gauge size of #4 AWG. This connection to an external ground source is pivotal for safety purposes and serves to mitigate the presence of electrical noise within the system.
• It's essential to underscore that even though the panel itself is constructed from metal and possesses its own grounding system, it is considered an unsound practice to substitute it as a primary grounding point in place of a dedicated earth or grid ground. The primary reason for this precaution is to ensure that the electrical system is both safe and free from potential disturbances, making the separate connection to an earth or grid ground a critical element in the overall design and operation of the Mark V panel.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is DS200TCQAF1AED?
It is a Software EPROM Set designed and developed by GE

What is the role of the control common wire within each controller in the panel?
Each controller in the Mark V panel is equipped with a control common wire that connects to the panel control common ground bar (C-comm). This connection is vital for creating a common reference point for electrical signals and ensuring proper grounding.

How are the C-comm bar and shield bars linked to the panel ground bar?
The C-comm bar and shield bars are intricately linked to the panel ground bar, which is located at the bottom of the panel. This connection is established through the robust steel structure of the panel, creating a solid grounding system.

What is the purpose of fastening the panel ground bar to an external earth or grid ground?
The panel ground bar must be securely fastened to an external earth or grid ground using a copper cable with a minimum #4 AWG gauge size. This connection is crucial for safety and helps mitigate electrical noise within the system by providing a direct path to the Earth.
