Product Description
The GE Power Excitation Board DS3800NEPB can only operate when connected to the GE Mark IV PC Board. The board must be connected to a motor excitation board.
The board features power amplifiers, a field current feedback signal, an armature current feedback signal, a calibration circuit, high voltage resistor bridges, and a heat-sink assembly.
The board is installed in the power conversion module and if the module is operating, the installer is exposed to dangerous levels of electrical energy. To create a safe working environment, you must power down the module and all other equipment and then also stop the source of energy. A manufacturing site is typically equipped with 3-phase power supplies that produce the power needed to run all the devices. An engineering drawing is usually available for your use that details the 3-phase power cabling used in the site. Refer to it and locate the power source connected to drive. Remove the fuses from the source to disable the power to the drive.
Examine the box in which the board was delivered for damage and place the box on a clean flat surface. Open the box and notice the board is wrapped in protective wrapper. Keep it in the wrapper for protection against static. The static can damage the components on the board and cause the board to be defective.
Immediately before you handle the board or install the board, take it out of the static safe bag. Connect the DS3800NEPB board with other boards, if necessary, before you install them in the power conversion module.
