Functional Description

IC3606STMG is a Thermocouple Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark I and II control system. It is engineered to accurately gauge and assess temperature levels, which is fundamental for maintaining optimal operating conditions. It operates by measuring the voltage generated when two dissimilar conductors, known as thermocouple wires, are exposed to varying temperatures. This voltage is directly proportional to the temperature difference, enabling precise temperature readings.

Procedure for Connecting the Test Module to Panel

Connecting a test module to a turbine control panel is a methodical process that ensures safety and accuracy in testing. Here is an expanded step-by-step procedure:

• Power Shutdown: Begin by ensuring that the turbine control panel's power is completely turned off. This is a critical safety measure to prevent any accidental activation or interference with the control panel during the setup process.
• PWH (VMPA or VMPC) Removal: Next, carefully remove the specific PWH (VMPA or VMPC) that needs to be tested from the turbine control panel. This step requires precision to avoid any damage to the equipment or the control panel itself.
• Test Module Extender Board Insertion: Insert the test module extender board, complete with attached cables, into the vacant slot that was left when the PWH was removed. This extender board serves as a crucial intermediary component, allowing the test module to establish a connection with the internal circuitry of the control panel.
• Reinsert the Removed PWH: The PWH (VMPA or VMPC) that was removed for testing must now be securely inserted into the extender board. This connection is essential as it facilitates the interaction between the test module and the control panel's internal circuitry, essentially replicating the normal operation of the PWH.
• Cable Connection to Test Module: The final step involves connecting the free ends of both test cables to the designated J1 and J2 connectors on the test module. These connectors ensure that the test module can effectively monitor and test the signals within the control panel, providing precise data for the testing process.
