About the IC3600TILB1A
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IC3600TILB1A is a PCB component for the Mark I/Mark II series from GE. These two series were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s for the management of gas and steam turbine systems. They were the first of the Speedtronic systems from GE, which focused on using the newest technology of the day to create a control system that would increase the reliability and efficiency of heavy-duty turbines regardless of the size or complexity of the turbine setup. To this end, the MKI/MKII is adaptable and scalable, and able to manage all sorts of turbine systems from unmanned single turbine pumping stations to multi-unit power plants up to 400 Mw combined cycles. And while these systems are now considered obsolete and do not receive support from GE, they continue to be used by many facilities due to their adaptability and scalability.
The IC3600TILB1A functions as an Inverter Limit Board. The board is populated with:
- four lines of three integrated circuits
- silver traces that connect to through-holes
- one high-voltage ceramic capacitor
- several lines of transistors
- total of twelve transistors
- diodes and resistors
Most of these components are mounted vertically. Traces are printed on the board between these components. The IC3600TILB1A is marked with the code 68A944398G1. It has the round GE logo located in one corner. The board is also populated by a line of metal pins which functions as a communication device.
