DS200IAXSG1A

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.
• It is now an obsolete legacy product series, discontinued by GE, but remains desirable as one of the final GE series to incorporate patented Speedtronic control system technology.
• 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.
