FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IC3600SOTK1 is an Overtemperature Protection Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark II Series used in GE Speedtronic Control Systems. An Overtemperature Protection Card (OTP Card) is an electronic device used in various industrial and electrical systems, particularly in turbine control systems, to monitor and manage temperature levels. Its primary function is to protect equipment from damage caused by excessive temperatures by triggering alarms or initiating protective actions such as shutdowns. Here are the key components and functions of an OTP Card:

KEY COMPONENTS:

• Temperature Sensors: These are connected to the OTP card and placed at critical points in the system to measure temperature.
• Control Unit: The core of the OTP card, where temperature data from sensors is processed and compared against preset thresholds.
• Alarm System: Integrated with the control unit, this system generates visual and/or auditory alerts when temperatures exceed safe limits.
• Communication Interface: Allows the OTP card to interact with the main control system or other monitoring systems, often using communication protocols like Modbus, CAN bus, etc.

FUNCTIONS:

• Continuous Monitoring: The OTP card constantly monitors temperatures at various critical points within the equipment.
• Threshold Setting: It is configured with predefined temperature thresholds that represent safe operating limits for the equipment.
• Alarm Activation: When the temperature exceeds the set threshold, the OTP card triggers an alarm to alert operators to the overheating condition.
• Protective Actions: In severe cases, the OTP card can initiate automatic protective actions such as shutting down the equipment to prevent damage.
• Data Logging: Some OTP cards also log temperature data for trend analysis and predictive maintenance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Where are Overtemperature Protection Cards commonly used?

OTP Cards are commonly used in turbine control systems, electrical transformers, motors, industrial manufacturing processes, and other applications where temperature monitoring and control are critical for safety and operational efficiency.

How does an Overtemperature Protection Card work?

The OTP card continuously monitors temperatures through connected sensors. If the temperature exceeds preset thresholds, the card triggers alarms and, in severe cases, initiates protective actions such as shutting down the equipment.

What happens when an OTP card detects an overtemperature condition?

When an overtemperature condition is detected, the OTP card activates alarms to alert operators. If the temperature continues to rise beyond safe limits, the card may initiate an automatic shutdown to prevent equipment damage.
