DS200SDCIG2A

Product Description

The GE DC Power Supply and Instrumentation Board DS200SDCIG2A serves as an interface to DC2000 drives. The DS200SDCIG2A is a static-sensitive device, meaning that any static electricity that builds up in it might cause damage to the board or the drive in which it is installed. There are a few guidelines you can follow that apply to handling the board before you install it. Static electricity can build up in you as well as the device, so try to refrain from walking around before the installation. When you do touch the board, only hold it by the edges and not touch the solder or components and make sure only one person touches the board to limit the exposure to static electricity.

Most importantly, only remove the board from the static-protective package just before you install it and plug it directly into the drive.

As you inspect the DS200SDCIG2A you’ll notice that the board has 5 fuses that protect the board from over-current situations, short circuits, and defective MOV assemblies and SCR packages. As a feature to speed up the troubleshooting procedure, each fuse has a LED that lights with the fuse blows. The board has a dedicated slot in the drive cabinet that is behind another board, so you can’t see the LED when lit. If you suspect one or more fuses have blown, you can remove the board and place it on a clean surface or workbench. A qualified individual can apply current to the board and cause the LED to light.
