About the DS200RTBAG1A
The General Electric DS200RTBAG1A is a relay terminal board (RTBA) developed for the Mark V board series. This optional board can be installed in a number of GE brand drive or exciter cabinets. The Mark V Series that this DS200RTBAG1A product offering belongs to has specific applications in the control and management systems of compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. This series is also identifiable as one of the final General Electric product series to incorporate their patented Speedtronic control system technology into its products.
This DS200RTBAG1A Relay Terminal Board is not the original product offering of its functionality to exist within the Mark V Turbine Control System Series; that would be the DS200RTBAG1 Relay Terminal Board missing this DS200RTBAG1A product's A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This DS200RTBAG1A Relay Terminal Board is populated by its own series of hardware components and component specifications that introduce its originally-intended Mark V Series functionality. When installed, this card provides the drive with an additional ten relays. These relays can be driven either by the pilot relays housed on the LAN I/O terminal board (GE P/N 531X307LTB) or by the user remotely. Seven of the relays found on the board are DPDT relays that feature 2 Form C contacts. The remaining three relays are 4PDT type, with four Form C contacts.
- The DPDT relays are found in positions K20 through K26.
- Voltages for these relays include a 110 VDC coil and 10 A contacts.
K27 through K29 are the designated positions for these three relays.
- Relay voltages for these include a 110 VDC coil and 1 A contacts.
Each relay found on the board is protected from surges and interruptions by a 130 VAC metal oxide varistor (MOV). Should any relays burn out, each is easily easily replaceable by the user. Each relay in this DS200RTBAG1A Relay Terminal Board's assembly should be accompanied by its own lamp inside each relay. Called a state indicator lamp, these LED indicators glow to indicate normal functional status of each relay.
Before making a final purchase decision on this DS200RTBAG1A product offering, it is crucial to realize that its A-rated functional product revision may alter its originally-introduced performance specifications and basic dimensions drastically.
