Product Description
The IS200PICHG1AGA printed circuit board was manufactured by the respected automated industrial giant retailer General Electric, under the guise of their GE Industrial Systems shell manufacturer. This printed circuit board or PCB is attributed to the Innovation Series of drive systems and drive system controls, and is modified from its original IS200PICHG1 design through the use of three significant product revisions, rated at A, G and A respectively. This PCB is more explicitly definable as a Phase Interface and Control Board; the functional description that it is referred to as in original factory-issued instructional manual materials.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This IS200PICHG1AGA Phase Interface and Control Board is a well-documented printed circuit board, given its product-specific instructional manual and data sheet that is available online. Before diving into some of this board's unique hardware components and component specifications, it is important to recognize the full scope of this PCB's possible applications. As designated by GE, some of the intended functionality of this product includes:
- Dc bus overvoltage (OV) trip signal generation
- Converter bridge interfacing for standard (75 250 amp) 100 mV shunts
- Power and signal transmission link power diversion
- General diagnostic processes
Now that some of the basic processes supported by this IS200PICHG1AGA Control Board have been identified, it is possible to explain some of this PCB's unique hardware elements, beginning with the crucial set of three subassemblies attached to the base board of this IS200PICHG1AGA model. These three subassemblies include the self-described IS205TFBH IGBT Temperature Feedback Board, the IS205VCXH VCO Feedback Transmitter Board, and the IS205IGDH IGBT Gate Driver Board. These boards are all featured in different quantities relative to their voltage specifications and relative importances; the IS205VCXH is present as a singular board in this assembly, whereas four IS205VCXH boards and eight total IS205IGDH PCBs are necessitated by this PICH-abbreviated assembly.
Another hardware component crucial to the IS200PICHG1AGA board's functionality are its two logic area ground planes; an SHCOM Power Ground Plane and a DCOM Signal Ground Plane. Both of these ground planes are considered to be star connected to the IS200PICHG1AGA board's heat sink and laminated bus neutral through the use of included reference connectors. Before making a purchase decision for this product, it is important to be cognizant of its three functional revisions, which modify it from the IS200PICHG1 parent board that this individualized product page is based on.
