Product Description
The IS200WEMAH1AEA is a printed circuit board component from General Electric designed as part of the company’s Mark VI turbine control system. This system, which was one of the final gas and steam turbine control architectures released by GE under the “Speedtronic” umbrella, was specifically designed to offer reliable but flexible industrial turbine management. This was the third Speedtronic system that offered users a TMR or triple modular redundant option. However, the Mark VI also offers a Simplex system option for smaller or less complex systems that would not benefit from a TMR system.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The IS200WEMAH1AEA is a rather large and component-dense circuit board. It is built with standoffs built into the center of the board. This is to allow users to mount an auxiliary board at a later date, according to the owner's convenience. Beyond the unique standoffs benefitting the owner of the IS200WEMAH1AEA, this printed circuit board features a number of highlightable component parts, including but not limited to:
- at least four fuses
- A number of relays, each outfitted with different labels describing relay function
- over five hundred individual resistors for current flow and voltage management
- At least ten plugs and fuses for compatibility purposes
- a series of transistors
- four terminal blocks labeled TB1 to TB4
- two different types of transformers labeled T1 and T2
- nine heat sinks
- vertical pin connectors
Most components on the IS200WEMAH1AEA use surface mount technology although some, like certain resistors, still use through-hole mounting. Most components are marked with some sort of reference designator that will help with their identification.
The IS200WEMAH1AEA board is factory drilled in several locations, including at the corners and within the body of the board. These drill holes are ringed with conductive material, for best-practice installation.
