About the DS3800DFPH1B1B

The GE Circuit Board DS3800DFPH1B1B features 1 34-pin ribbon cable and 3 trimmer potentiometers. The GE Circuit Board DS3800DFPH1B1B also is populated with multiple test points and 1 transistor-transistor logic component embedded on the board.

The GE Circuit Board DS3800DFPH1B1B is installed in a drive that requires special consideration concerning cable routing. The drive is often installed on a wall with other drives. Often other equipment is installed in the room also. All the equipment requires signal cables that carry commands and other information. The drives also require high-voltage power cabling. Also inverters are situated nearby that convert AC current to DC current for use in the drive. The high-voltage current carried by the power cables can interfere with the signal cables. This can lead to corrupted signals and loss of communications between components.

To prevent that, you must route the power cables separately from the signal cables. The higher the voltage, the further separated the cables must be routed. In some cases the power cables can be routed adjacent to the signal cables for a short length. If you are also routing fiber optic cables you can run those along with the power cables because the fiber optic cables cannot pick up the interference. They are immune to interference from high-voltage cables. One solution in some circumstances is to use shielded cable. This stops the interference from corrupting the signals.

Keep in mind that the drive often requires several sources of power so the drive will have several power cables running to it.
