About the IC3600AFRA1A1A
The IC3600AFRA1A1A is a FANUC GE Ground Fault Relay Board. This component is designed by GE for the Mark I and Mark II series, which were developed by GE in the 1960s and 1970s for the management of gas and steam turbines. Both systems can be used in conditions ranging from +/- 50 degrees Celsius, and in locations as varied as offshore applications to remote pipeline stations. The Mark I and Mark II are designed to control turbines, limit system output so it is consistent with the unit’s capabilities, sequence control parameters during startup, provide a protective shutdown in the event of a non-recoverable system failure, and monitor and annunciate malfunctions including those within the control system and turbine auxiliaries.
The IC3600AFRA1A1A has two integrated circuits and four transistors. The circuits are both low power quad comparators with low offset voltage. The board has four light emitting diodes. Each diode is red. The LEDs are labeled CR1 through CR4.
The IC3600AFRA1A1A has thirty-two jumper switches. Each of these jumpers allows end users one of two ways of finishing off each related circuit.
The IC3600AFRA1A1A has one right-angled mating connector. This is a male connector. It is labeled 218A4637P2. The opposite edge of the board has twenty-five metal pins. Under the pins, the board is numbered by tens from ten to fifty. These individual pins are designed to connect the board to wiring in the Mark I/II frame.
The IC3600AFRA1A1A has four relays on its surface. The board is built with polyester vinyl capacitors and capacitors of other material. The board has several rows of resistors and diodes. Technical support including manuals and data sheets was provided by GE.
