Functional Description

DS3800DEPB is an excitation power board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark IV control system. The Mark IV control is a significant departure from previous controls in that it is a microprocessor-based distributed control with on-line repair and return to service capabilities. At the moment, it appears that turbine users value the potential for high control system availability that Mark IV provides. It is adaptable to a wide range of applications while maintaining standardized hardware that simplifies manufacturing, diagnostics, and maintenance.

Features

• The GE Excitation Power Board is equipped with one 20-pin ribbon cable and five 10-pin connectors. The board also has four terminals for adding components and two trimmer resistors.
• The 10-pin connector IDs include JA-RUN, CAL1B, and JB-COM. Because there are five 10-pin connectors, you must select the appropriate ribbon cable for each connector. If you install the board but do not connect the ribbon cables to the correct connectors, you will need to shut down the drive and reconnect the ribbon cables. This will reduce drive productivity and annoy operators working on drives in the surrounding area.
• Instead, label each cable with the ID of the connector to which it is connected. It will make the replacement board installation quick and simple.
• The 20-pin ribbon cable that connects to the drive cannot be removed from the board. It is critical that it is completely seated in the connector. To do so, press firmly on the connector's top to ensure a secure connection. If there is space between the connectors, it could mean that some pins are not fully connected.
• It is critical to route the 10-pin ribbon cables correctly when connecting them. That is, do not connect them with power cables, which can interfere with the signals carried by the ribbon cables. Keep them from obstructing air flow in front of vents or other heat-generating components.

Product Attributes

• Protection features: The board is equipped with protection features to prevent damage to the excitation system, such as overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, and overcurrent protection.
• Communication capabilities: The board is designed to communicate with other components of the turbine control system using various communication protocols.
• High reliability: The board is built with high-quality components and is designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments.
• Digital signal processing: The board uses digital signal processing techniques to ensure accurate and stable voltage and current output.
