Product Description
The GE Field Exciter Board DS2020FECNRP005A features 7 jumpers and 2 terminal blocks with 3 terminals on each. The jumpers are identified as JP1 through JP7. The GE Line Protection Board DS2020FECNRP005A also contains multiple prong-type connectors. The board is installed on standoffs on another component of the drive. The signal wires that connect to the board originate on the component to which it is attached.
The board and other components in the drive are subject to overheating. Overheating can cause the components to wear out sooner than expected and cause the drive to experience intermittent problems due to the heat. Also, the excessive heatcan cause a overheating trip condition to occur which causes the drive to automatically shutdown. This would cause a loss of production and cause inconvenience to the other operations in the site. Also, it would necessitate restarting the drive and a resolution found for the condition. The best practice is to install the drive properly with cooling being a major consideration.
The drive must be installed in a location that is free of dust, dirt, and oil. This protects the components and prolongs the need for maintenance. The environment must be cool and away from other drives and devices that generate heat. A generous distance must be allowed for space between the drive and other devices. If fans or exhaust hoods are required, make sure they are adequate to keep the environment cool. If walls separate the drive from other devices, make sure the walls stay cool to the touch to ensure the drive is not overheated.
