Product Description
The DS200PCCAG5 is a General Electric Drive System Power Board. It is no longer being supported by GE and may be a little difficult to locate. AX Control still tries to keep this card in stock.
The DS200PCCAG5 is also known as a Power Connect Card (PCCA). It is a replacement board for a PCCA that comes standard in a DS200 drive. This board is capable of interfacing with a SCR power bridge and the control circuitry on its drive. When it interfaces with the power bridge, it can then use its pulse transformers to affect the gate drive going to the SCR.
When PCCA boards are used with a relatively low HP controller, it has the capacity to use its snubber circuits to control power spikes. Some of the snubber circuits are actually sometimes not included on the PCCA on the higher HP controllers and are included somewhere else within the system. This particular type of PCCA is a version that does not include any snubbers and it does not have an attenuation string. It uses a DCFB power supply board and is used in frames J, K, and M. It has Leg fuses and reactors. It also uses a separate or common bus transformer.
The hardware on the DS200PCCAG5 includes four jumpers that can be configured and wiring plug connectors. The wire jumpers are labeled JP1, JP2, WP3, and WP4. This board should be mounted behind the drive control on the back of the board carrier. There are six plastic snaps that are keeping this board connected to the board carrier.
