About the 531X190SRCAGG2
The 531X190SRCAGG2 is a GE Snubber Resistor Card. Snubbers are typically a small network of parts with a function of controlling the effects of circuit reactances. They enhance the performance of switching circuits and typically result in higher efficiency and reliability. The 531X190SRCAGG2 is a small board with very few components. The board is mounted to a white underlayment that has a small metal stab that allows for easier mounting of the board within the larger system. This metal stab is marked 20920. The board itself is a shaped board with two short ‘legs’ positioned off its bottom edge. The board carries codes and markings such as:
- the GE logo
- 1991
- 006/00
- 002/00
- the alternate board number of F31X190SRCAGG1
Auxiliary 531X190SRCAGG2 Hardware
The primary components located on the surface of the 531X190SRCAGG2 are two wire wound resistors. Each of these is fastened to the board using thru bolts and brackets. Wire wound resistors are designed to withstand frequent start/stop cycles and are ideal for applications involving high currents at a very low resistance value. More information on this part may be found through publications from the manufacturer, such as data sheets or user guides. The 531X190SRCAGG2 is also populated by:
- two stab-on connectors
- respective metal oxide varistors
- two zener diodes
. Varistors are variable resistors that provide over-voltage protection by means of voltage-clamping, similar to a zener diode.
