About the DS200DCFBG1BFB
The DS200DCFBG1BFB is a power supply board developed by General Electric for their Mark V series of drive boards. It's compatible with several GE drives, including AC2000, DC2000, CB2000, ME2000, and FC2000. While it was originally produced for the Mark V Turbine Control System Series, it's not the original power supply board for that series. The original board for the Mark V Series would be the DS200DCFBG1 (the parent PCB without the three revisions found in the DS200DCFBG1BFB). The Mark V series is a relatively recent development from GE, incorporating Speedtronic technology, which has been around since the Mark I Series in the late 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
- The DS200DCFBG1BFB board supplies power to both the control level power and the enclosure fan.
- It receives sourced inputs from the control power transformer on the board, with nominal ratings between 38 and 115 VAC.
- The board outputs frequencies between 0 and 500 kHz, with rates dependent on the input voltage.
- Intricate circuitries on the board ensure proper operation, including:
- AC/DC monitoring
- Control level supply
- Motor field power
- Driver circuits
- It offers configurable system options with twelve jumpers and seven DIP switches for user customization.
- Onboard status indicators (two LEDs and one neon lamp) provide diagnostic information about the board's fuses.
- Three integrated protective fuses safeguard against power supply interruptions.
- Five test points are included for periodically checking voltage levels on the board.
Safety, Installation, and Troubleshooting
- The board and the drive have specific safety and installation parameters that must be met to protect the overall unit.
- Illustrated installation and wiring guides are available in the device's manual and datasheet.
- General Electric originally provided technical support for both the DS200DCFBG1BFB and the Mark V series.
- Failure to follow original safety and installation parameters can lead to functional faults, potentially stopping the device's processes entirely.
- Functional faults in the assembly usually stem from a failure of one of its voltage-controlling fuses, indicated by one of the three LED indicators:
- CR5 LED (red) indicates a blown FU2 fuse.
- CR55 LED (red) indicates a blown FU3 fuse (pertinent to the -15 V dc regulator).
- LT1 neon lamp (external assembly) glows to indicate a failure of the FU1 fuse.
- All three fuses are typically protected by a normal PCB protective coating.
- AX Control offers sales and support for the DS200DCFBG1BFB and other automation needs, with current prices and availability accessible by phone or email.
