Product Description
General Electric (GE) manufactured the IC3600SAHC1A printed circuit board (PCB) for the Mark I and Mark II turbine control series. The MKI and MKII were the earliest systems to be developed in the Mark series. The Mark series manages the functions in gas and steam turbines. Processes such as startup and shutdown are automated while other aspects like temperature and the input of fuel and water are also regulated. The Mark systems have been relied on for decades, ever since the Mark I system was introduced in the late 1960s.
The IC3600SAHC1A contains many different electronic PCB components on its surface. The two components that are the most noticeable are a pair of capacitors which are yellow. These capacitors are large in size. They are positioned adjacent to each other near the middle of the IC3600SAHC1A board. These capacitors each contain a voltage of two-hundred volts (200V). The part number 708AI is printed on the outside surface of both capacitors. A third yellow capacitor that is smaller in size can be found close to the bottom of the IC3600SAHC1A. Additionally, the IC3600SAHC1A features an array of resistors. One (1) large resistor can be found situated on the lower border of the printed circuit board. This resistor is brown and it has bands that are white, orange, gold, and red. Six (6) more resistors can be seen along the left side of the IC3600SAHC1A. These resistors are smaller and contain bands which are yellow, purple, brown, red, green, white, and blue. These resistors are arranged in a vertical line. A collection of small diodes can be found on the right end of the IC3600SAHC1A.
