About the DS200DCFBG1BKC
The DS200DCFBG1BKC is a power supply board developed by General Electric for their Mark V series of drive systems. When installed, it provides electricity to the enclosure fan and the system's control level power. This board is compatible with GE's DC2000, AC2000, FC2000, CB2000, and ME2000 series of drives.
It belongs to the Mark V Turbine Control System Series, which has applications in the control and management systems of steam, gas, and wind turbine automated drive assemblies. The Mark V Series is considered a legacy series as its manufacture has been discontinued by General Electric. The Mark V Series is also one of the final GE product series to utilize their patented Speedtronic control system technology.
While a power supply board itself, the DS200DCFBG1BKC is not the original power supply board for the Mark V; that would be the DS200DCFBG1 parent board, which lacks the DS200DCFBG1BKC's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200DCFBG1BKC board's functionality is defined by its specific hardware components and specifications. It accepts nominally rated sourced inputs between 38 and 115 VAC. The board generates output frequencies ranging from 0 to 500 kHz, depending on the input voltages.
Five individual circuitries are present on the board:
- Control level supply circuit
- Driver circuit
- Motor field power circuit
- AC monitoring circuit
- DC monitoring circuit
Two LED indicators and one neon indicator provide diagnostic information regarding the status of the drive's fuses. Three protective fuses are integrated into the board to prevent current interruptions. Five test points are available on the board for easily checking voltage levels. Users can adjust configurable settings via twelve jumpers and seven DIP switches to meet specific job requirements.
Installation and Safety
General Electric outlines installation parameters for boards and drives that must be followed to prevent accidental damage to the unit. Users should reference the device's datasheet and manual for complete wiring and installation guides. It is crucial to remove all power to the DS200DCFBG1BKC board and its associated Mark V Turbine Control System Series automated drive assembly before attempting installation or replacement. This power removal is critical because potentially lethal surface voltages can persist on the board's base circuit even minutes after the Mark V Series drive is powered off.
Before purchasing, it is of utmost importance to consider the DS200DCFBG1BKC Power Supply Board's full revision history, which includes a B-rated, a K-rated, and a C-rated revision. These revisions can significantly alter the board's original performance specifications and basic dimensions. General Electric, the original manufacturer, provided technical support for members of the Mark V series.
