Product Description
The GE DC Power Supply and Instrumentation Board DS200SDCIG1AEB serves as an interface to DC2000 drives. The DS200SDCIG1AEB is populated with 5 fuses that serve to protect the board from damage. If a power overload condition occurs, a fuse might blow to protect components from being damaged. A valuable feature is that if a fuse blows you can inspect the LED lights on the board and confirm that a problem with the board has occurred. You can refer to the information that came with the board and determine the possible reasons for the fuse to blow.
You might determine that the board must be replaced immediately or you might determine that a condition in the drive caused the board to fail. If that is the case, correct the condition in the drive first. For example, a temporary overload condition caused the fuse to blow. In that case, if the temporary overload condition is not likely to reoccur, just remove the board from the drive, replace the fuse, reinstall the board, and continue the manufacturing process.
You must allow only qualified servicers to inspect, repair, or otherwise touch the DS200SDCIG1AEB board or the drive it is installed in. This also applies to replacing a blown fuse. The servicer must be familiar with the equipment in the manufacturing site, and in particular with the drive and the board. An unqualified servicer might break components or expose the components to dangerous high voltage. An unqualified servicer might be injured by a high-voltage current.
This model is just one of two group revisions. The DS200SDCIG1AEB model is part of the G1 group and will have an internal field exciter supply less than or equal to 10 A. For more information on the SDCI unit refer to the GEI-100173 SDCI DC Power Supply and Instrumentation Board Manual.
