About the DS3800HMPJ1A1A
The DS3800HMPJ1A1A is a printed circuit board (PCB) designed as part of the Mark IV Speedtronic control system. The Mark IV, used for controlling industrial gas and steam turbine systems, was a significant step forward in the development of a reliable turbine control system as compared to earlier Speedtronic systems due to the MKIV’s triple modular redundant architecture. This change in design using redundant and duplicate processors increased reliability and decreased downtime as compared to previous General Electric turbine control systems.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3800HMPJ1A1A typically carries the board ID, several codes, and is marked along the upper edge with alpha codes and symbols to aid with proper alignment. The leading edge of the board has two LED indicators mounted to its surface. One of these is a yellow LED while the other is red. This edge also includes several TP test points, three jumper switches, and a right-angled cable connector. Factory-drilled holes have extractor clips mounted within them to aid with the installation and removal of the board. Other board components include resistor network arrays, capacitors, resistors, over fifty integrated circuits of various design, and a vertical pin connector. There is also a backplane connector located on the rear edge of the board. Most of these components are marked with some kind of reference designation. Many components also carry other codes from their original manufacturers. This DS3800HMPJ1A1A product is not known as the originally-developed device of its specific Mark IV Turbine Control System Series functionality, as the final alphanumeric digits in the DS3800HMPJ1A1A functional product number would seem to indicate.
Installation, handling, and maintenance information can be sourced through original documentation from General Electric. If you no longer have your original manuals or user guides, let us know; we may be able to help with replacements. Generally, the informed replacer or installer should always seek to make use of a standard wrist grounding strap when attempting to relocate this DS3800HMPJ1A1A PCB product offering, given the fact that this DS3800HMPJ1A1A PCB is a highly voltage-sensitive Mark IV Series product.
This DS3800HMPJ1A1A product's DS3800HMPJ1A1A functional product number itself can be considered a decent primary source of DS3800HMPJ1A1A Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for various DS3800HMPJ1A1A Board details in a selection of GE-formulated functional naming components. To demonstrate, this DS3800HMPJ1A1A product number is started with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag delegating both this DS3800HMPJ1A1A product's normal Mark IV Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location.
