Product Description
This DS200UPSAG1A printed circuit board product offering was originally manufactured to exist as a member of General Electric's Mark V Series, which has incorporated GE's patented Speedtronic technology since its inception with the rollout of the Mark V Series in the later 1960s. This product series is considered a General Electric legacy series, as it has been discontinued for production by its original manufacturer in recent years. The Mark V Series that this DS200UPSAG1A printed circuit board or PCB belongs to is a series of printed circuit boards and modular assemblies typically adopted in specific wind, gas, or steam turbine applications. This DS200UPSAG1A printed circuit board is more explicitly definable by its official functional product description as a EX2000 Power Supply Board, which is provided in this product's original instructional manual documentation issued by General Electric. While this DS200UPSAG1A EX2000 Power Supply Board is generally attributable to the Mark V Series, the presence of the EX2000 portion of its functional description as an EX2000 Power Supply Board suggests an additional allegiance to the EX2000 Excitation Control System Subseries. This DS200UPSAG1A printed circuit board is not the original EX2000 Power Supply Board manufactured for its respective series; that would be the DS200UPSAG1 EX2000 Power Supply Board missing this DS200UPSAG1A PCB's singular A-rated product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any General Electric printed circuit board product offering manufactured for use in the Mark V Turbine Control System Series, this DS200UPSAG1A PCB is equipped with its own set of necessary hardware components and component specifications. The GE EX2000 Power Supply Board DS200UPSAG1A features one reset button, 3 fuses, and 1 LED in its assembly for diagnostic testing purposes. The GE EX2000 Power Supply Board DS200UPSAG1A also is populated with 3 9-pin connectors, multiple capacitors, and test points. The 3 fuses on the GE EX2000 Power Supply Board DS200UPSAG1A are designed to protect the components on the board from damage caused by an over-current condition. That is, if an irregular current or over current is present in the board, a fuse or multiple fuses will blow and shutdown the circuit protected by the fuse. It is a simple task to check the fuses in the assembly of this DS200UPSAG1A EX2000 PCB to see if any are blown. However, it is important to note that each fuse connector must have a fuse installed that is the proper rating. Refer to the instructions shipped with the original board from the factory to learn the proper rating fuse to use with each connector. To remove a fuse, pull the fuse out of the connector. To install a fuse, press the fuse into the connector.
The GE EX2000 Power Supply Board DS200UPSAG1A is populated with several capacitors that during normal processing store high-voltage current and release it. During most conditions the operator is unaware of the cycle and the high voltage poses no risk. However, when the board is being replaced, the capacitors on the defective board might have stored high-voltage current. The high-voltage current exits the capacitors in 30 seconds after power is removed. For that reason, before you touch the board, wait 30 seconds for all current to exit the board. This DS200UPSAG1A printed circuit board is offered an additional layer of insulation and daily wear and tear protection through the normal style of printed circuit board coating that has been applied to its base circuit board. This normal style of printed circuit board coating should envelop and protect individual hardware elements in the assembly of this DS200UPSAG1A PCB on a functional priority basis, as a thick rudimentary layer of printed circuit board protection. This is but one of the many hardware traits specific to this DS200UPSAG1A EX2000 Power Supply Board discoverable through use of its DS200UPSAG1A functional product number. Some of the other DS200UPSAG1A board-specific information revealed through an analysis of this product number includes this DS200UPSAG1A PCB's:
- Normal style of Mark V Series assembly
- Domestic location of original manufacture
- UPSA functional product abbreviation
- Mark V Series group one series grouping
- A-rated functional product revision
