About the DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A
This DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A printed circuit board product offering, as revealed just above, was originally designed and produced by General Electric, specifically for placement in their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The Mark V Series that this DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to has specific applications in the control and management systems of compatible and popular wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and must be considered a now-obsolete legacy product series, as evidenced by its eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in one of the many years past its initial General Electric series release. While a now-obsolete legacy product series, the Mark V Series that this DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A product offering belongs to must be treated as an esteemed product series, as it exist as one of the final-developed General Electric Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced with the rollout of the Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s. This DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A PCB is not the originally-developed product of its specific Mark V Series intended functionality; that would be the DS215LRPAG1 parent PCB missing this DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A Device's A-rated functional product revision and optional firmware package.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A is a circuit board component manufactured by GE for use within the EX2000 excitation system, and it uses its own series of functionality-inducing hardware components and component specifications to achieve intended functioning. The EX2000 is designed for use with synchronous generators manufactured by GE, typically running control systems like the Mark V. It is a digitally controlled excitation system used to vary and control the output of the main generator using a software driven (microprocessor-based) voltage regulating system. The DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A board and other MKV components are no longer actively manufactured by GE but can be found here at AX Control as refurbished, fully tested stock. Given this DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A Line Module Protection Board's attribution to the now-defunct GE Mark V Turbine Control System Series, it should come as no surprise that this DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A PCB is not surrounded by a wealth of pertinent, originally-printed instructional manual materials online. With this being true, the DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A functional product number itself can exist as a primary source of DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A Board hardware component information, coding for specific details in a series of consecutive functional naming chunks. For example, the DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS215 series tag delegating this DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A PCB's special Mark V Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant details revealed through this DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A PCB's functional product number include its:
- LRPA functional product abbreviation
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- Normal PCB coating style
- A-rated functional product revision
- Attached optional firmware package
The DS215LRPAG1AZZ01A is a Line Module Protection board. This board has four terminal strips located on its leading edge. Each terminal connection on these strips is individually labeled on the board surface. Other connectors include a vertical female connector and stab-on connectors. The board includes components like transformers, jumper switches, six heat sinks, potentiometers, and resistor network arrays. The heat sinks typically have high-voltage transistors mounted to their surfaces. The board also has LED indicators, a switch component, dozens of integrated circuits performing various board tasks, relays, and mounting eyelets. Capacitors vary from large high-voltage electrolytic surface mounted units to small ceramic capacitors. Resistors are typically made from metal film material. For a more detailed look at the board and important information regarding installation and handling, refer to GE datasheets and manuals. All original tech support for MKV components was provided by General Electric.
