About the DS200PCCAG1A
The DS200PCCAG1A is a Power Connect Card (PCB) part of the General Electric Mark V Series. The Mark V Series utilizes GE's patented Speedtronic technology, which originated with the Mark I control system in the late 1960s. This series is designed for specific applications in gas, steam, and wind turbine control systems and automated drive assemblies.
The DS200PCCAG1A is a revised version; the original was the DS200PCCAG1 parent Power Connect Card, lacking the A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Features and Specifications
The DS200PCCAG1A serves as an interface between the drive and the SCR power bridge.
- Installation: Installed in a drive carrier within the circuit board cabinet of the Mark V Series automated drive. Requires tilting forward two other boards for access.
- Safety during Service: Must be performed only by trained and qualified individuals familiar with high-voltage safety procedures, possessing current testing equipment and a static prevention strap.
- SCR Bridge-Relevant Connectors (examples):
- 1FPL – 6FPL (red wire) and _FPL-2 (white wire) for Forward gate pulse to corresponding SCR.
- 1RPL – 6RPL (red wire) and _RPL-2 (white wire) for Reverse gate pulse to corresponding SCR.
- Onboard Components: Features typical Mark V Series voltage-limiting hardware components like resistors, capacitors, and diodes.
- PCB Coating: Has a thick, rudimentary normal style of protective coating.
- Snubbers: Features both AC and DC style snubbers.
- Frame Compatibility: Supports both C and G styles of Mark V Turbine Control System Series frames.
- Compatible Power Supply Board: The SDCI-abbreviated power supply board is deemed compatible or necessary for its normative functionality (available for repair/replacement at AX Control).
- Includes line styles of both fuses and reactors, and an additional, separate bus transformer for voltage treatment and protection.
