About the DS2020FECNRP015A
This DS2020FECNRP015A printed circuit board product offering from General Electric, was, as alluded to above, originally manufactured for placement in the Mark V Turbine Control System Series. A rather self-explanatory product series; the Mark V Series that this DS2020FECNRP015A Device belongs to has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible wind, steam, and gas turbines. With the Mark V Series' newer-developed possible applications being true, it still must be identified as a now-obsolete legacy product series, as it was discontinued for manufacture in one of the many years following its initial release. With this being the case, this DS2020FECNRP015A Modular Assembly's greater Mark V Series is not wholly undesirable on the figurative automated industrial marketplace; as it exists as one of the final-developed General Electric product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced alongside the rollout of the Mark I Series in the later 1960s. This DS2020FECNRP015A Field Exciter Module is not the originally-developed product of its specific Mark V Series functionality; that would be the DS2020FECNRP015 module not making use of this DS2020FECNRP015A Field Exciter Module's singular A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any printed circuit board or modular assembly product offering made useful to our new and extended reconditioned inventory here, this DS2020FECNRP015A Modular Assembly's intended Mark V Series functionality is induced by its special Mark V Series assembly's acceptance of a specific series of specialized hardware components and component specifications. For starters, any present voltage suppression or limitation in the special modular assembly of this DS2020FECNRP015A product offering should be handled by its Mark V Series-standardized selection of voltage-suppressing hardware components including various styles of capacitors, resistors, transistors, and integrated circuits.The GE Field Exciter Board DS2020FECNRP015A 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 DS2020FECNRP015A 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. Given this DS2020FECNRP015A Modular Assembly's status as a now-discontinued legacy series product, many of its originally-introduced instructional manual materials are largely unavailable online. With this being true, the DS2020FECNRP015A functional product number itself becomes a primary source of DS2020FECNRP015A Board information; coding for specific details in a series of consecutive functional naming chunks. For example, the DS2020FECNRP015A functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating its special modular Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware information revealed through the DS2020FECNRP015A functional product number includes this DS2020FECNRP015A PCB's:
- FECN functional product abbreviation
- RP style of PCB protection
- A-rated primary functional revision
The two fuses on the board must be considered when you plan to replace the board or if you are troubleshooting the board. It is also best practice to take proper steps when you maintain the board. The fuses on the board are rated to blow only if a certain level of voltage is applied to the board. Less voltage will not harm the components. However, if more energy is introduced, the components might be damaged and to prevent that the fuses blow and the board shuts down. This protects the components from damage. When you replace a fuse, it must be rated the same as described in the written material supplied by the factory. It is best practice to have a supply of the fuses on hand so that if needed, the drive is offline for only a short period of time while the fuse is replaced. The drive receives electric power from several power sources and if you disconnect one power supply, you might not have removed all power from the drive. Consult with someone familiar with the installation of the drive or someone familiar with the power cabling to become familiar with the power supply sources.
