Frequently Asked Questions about DS200FHVAG1A
There are circuits on the DS200FHVAG1A board, what do these circuits do?
The circuits imbedded within the DS200FHVAG1A board are used to provide an isolated path for gate power from the FGPA board to one 77 mm SCR, light an LED mounted on the board to indicate when SCR blocking voltages are present, and sense the voltage drops across the SCR and send a signal back to the FGPA board when the voltage has surpassed a certain threshold.
There are five FHVA connections, what are their names and nomenclatures?
The five FHVA connections on the DS200FHVAG1A board have the following names and nomenclatures; E2, CATH, E1, EQLRES, P1-2, CATH, P1-1, GATE, T1, GATE1, and U1, STATUS. All of the descriptions of these connections can be found on page four of the GEI-100224 High Voltage Gate Interface Board.
What should I do if this model does not have an SCR gate connected to it?
To prevent overheating of the R1 and R2 resistor pins P1-1 and P1-2 should be shorted together.
Is there importance of the A on the DS200FHVAG1A board?
Yes, the A at the end of the alphanumeric catalog number signifies the board revision and compatibility. This board is not backward compatible.
Where can I find information regarding the operation and installation of the DS200FHVAG1A board?
Any and all information can be found in the part-specific GEI-100224 High Voltage Gate Interface Users Manual, or the GEH-6373 Innovation Series Manual.
