About the DS200IAXSG1A
The DS200IAXSG1A is an IGBT AA/AB Snubber Board manufactured by General Electric for the Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The Mark V Series is designed for control and management systems of wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. This board is a revised product; the DS200IAXSG1 parent AA/AB Snubber Board was the original and lacks the DS200IAXSG1A's signature A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200IAXSG1A features three 8-pin connectors and multiple turn screws for varying voltage output, labeled PL, NL, U, V, W, PR, and NR. It contains foil capacitors and other voltage-limiting components like resistors, diodes, and integrated circuits as part of a larger voltage limitation strategy. The board includes an obvious metal backplane for mounting or reinforcement, despite not being considered a "special" assembly type. Several test points are present for diagnostic fault detection.
Due to limited original documentation, the DS200IAXSG1A functional product number is a key source of hardware information, indicating:
- Normal Mark V Series assembly
- Domestic original manufacture location (DS200 Series tag)
- IAXS functional product abbreviation
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated functional product revision
Handling and Installation Guidelines
Components are fragile; follow handling guidelines to prevent breakage. Inspect the shipping box for dents, bashes, or liquid spills, as these may indicate damage to the board.
Upon receipt, gather all written information (warranty, service, product details).
If not installing immediately, store the board safely and out of sight. When ready to install, use a sharp blade to open the protective bag at one end without cutting the board. Grasp the board by its edges only and place it on the flattened empty bag. Wear a wrist strap connected to a metal object (e.g., workbench leg) when touching the board to prevent static damage.
