About the DS200PTCTG1ABC
As explained in the brief product description inserted above, this DS200PTCTG1ABC printed circuit board was originally manufactured by General Electric, specifically for the Mark V Turbine Control System Series. As you may have been able to deduce based off of its full extended series name, the Mark V Series that this DS200PTCTG1ABC PCB belongs to has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible wind, gas, and steam turbine automated drive assemblies. With this being true, this DS200PTCTG1ABC printed circuit board or PCB for short's greater Mark V Series must be considered obsolete as a whole, as it exists as a General Electric legacy series discontinued for manufacture in one of the many years past its initial release. This DS200PTCTG1ABC PCB's Mark V Series, while generally obsolete, is still something of a hot commodity on the figurative automated industrial marketplace, as it is one of the final-developed General Electric Mark product series to incorporate their patented Speedtronic control system technology across a range of offerings.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200PTCTG1ABC functions as a Potential Transformer Current Transformer (PTCT) board. It is used to isolate and scale voltages and current signals from CTs and PTs, or Potential Transformers and Current Transformers, as its official functional product description indicated before. The board also offers auxiliary inputs for the Mark V system for low voltage current signals. After signals are isolated on this board they are sent to the TCCB transducer board. The JKK ribbon connector mounts from this board to the TCCB board, and passes secondaries of the isolation transformer. Additionally, the board accepts one of three sets of 3-phase PT inputs entering the system. These PT inputs are used by the control system as an optional voltage matching feature. Generally, voltage suppression and limitation in the normal Mark V Series assembly of this DS200PTCTG1ABC product offering is handled by its normal Mark V Series assembly's adoption of a unique series of voltage-limiting hardware components and component specifications including different types of transistors, resistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. This DS200PTCTG1ABC PCB is not the originally-developed product of its specific Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS200PTCTG1 Potential Transformer Current Transformer missing this DS200PTCTG1ABC Device's three significant product revisions.
The DS200PTCTG1ABC board features four individual terminal strips lined up along one long board edge. Most of the terminal connectors on these are individually labeled along the board surface, but not all. On the opposite side of the board there is a single vertical connector for the JKK ribbon connector. Other board components sit between these components, and include six transformers in frames and three toroidal transformers, along with several jumper switches, an AD202JY isolation amplifier, resistor network arrays, resistors, and capacitors. The board is marked with the General Electric logo, with its board identification number, and with several codes that should help with installation. For additional help with installing this board, refer back to original GE documentation like manuals and user guides. This is especially important with boards like this one where voltages may be present even after mains power has been removed. Unfortunately, many of this DS200PTCTG1ABC Mark V Legacy product series product's originally-introduced instructional manual materials have not been restored online, for the purposes of this DS200PTCTG1ABC personalized product page here; likely a symptom of this DS200PTCTG1ABC Device's inclusion in a now-obsolete legacy product series. Luckily for us, the DS200PTCTG1ABC functional product number itself was specially-designed by General Electric to display a number of this DS200PTCTG1ABC PCB's more basic hardware specifications in a series of consecutive functional naming segments. For example, the DS200PTCTG1ABC functional product number starts off with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating this DS200PTCTG1ABC Board's normal Mark V Series assembly and domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other hardware details revealed with this DS200PTCTG1ABC PCB's functional product number includes its:
- PTCT functional product acronym
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated primary functional revision
- B-rated secondary functional revision
- C-rated artwork configuration revision
