Product Description
The GE Inverter Snubber Board DS200ITXSG1A features one 8-pin connector, two 2-pin connectors, and multiple test points. It is also populated with four capacitors. The GE Inverter Snubber Board DS200ITXSG1A generates heat, that if allowed to build up, can cause sensors in the drive to produce an error condition to keep the drive from overheating. The electrical components or the motor might be damaged if the drive is allowed to overheat. Also, a safety hazard that leads to fire can occur. If the overheat condition occurs, the drive is automatically shut off and you must take action to rectify the situation. When the drive is automatically shut off to prevent an overheat condition, it is called a trip condition. A trip condition causes an error message that displays on the control panel display.
The best way to prevent an overheat condition is to install the drive in a space that allows air to flow freely over and through the drive. Depending on the conditions, you might have to supply cooled forced air to cool the components in the drive. Also the air must be free of dust and harsh chemicals. The drive is designed for the air to flow from the bottom opening of the drive and pass over the components to cool them. Then, exit the drive from the top opening. To help with the flow of air, route cables away from the bottom and top openings of the drive so that the flow of air is not blocked.
