About the IC3600AFGC1B
The IC3600AFGC1B is a Function Generator board for the Mark I and Mark II series. The first gas and steam turbine management series to be released in General Electric’s successful Speedtronic line, the MKI and MKII have both accumulated millions of hours of operating experience since they were released in the late 1960s (MKI) and the early 1970s (MKII.) These systems have been used worldwide in temperatures ranging from -50C to +50C in systems as small as 4000 HP single turbines to 400 Mw combined cycle power stations.
The IC3600AFGC1B is built with three wire-wound resistors located in two lines. Each of these resistors is individually marked and rated. All of these components are through-hole components. The board also uses carbon composite resistors, which are mounted to the board both horizontally and vertically. Capacitors on the IC3600AFGC1B tend to be made of a polyester vinyl material, but some capacitors of other materials (ceramic, for example) are also utilized.
The IC3600AFGC1B has several transistors attached to the board of differing designs. One transistor is fitted with a heat sink, which is designed to dissipate excess heat to the air to maintain a proper working temperature within the component. The board also utilizes three potentiometers.
One edge of the IC3600AFGC1B is fitted with twenty-five metal pins. These metal pins connect the board into the rest of the Speedtronic system and allow communication between the two.
This component will be shipped in a protective, static-reducing sleeve. All technical support for the IC3600AFGC1B, including publications like manuals and data sheets, was provided by GE.
