About the IC3600SCBA1
General Electric (GE) developed the Mark I and Mark II turbine control systems as the first two series in the Speedtronic Mark line. The Mark series was first introduced with the creation of the Mark I in 1968. The IC3600SCBA1 is a component in the Mark I and Mark II. The Mark series is responsible for controlling many functions of gas and steam turbines including startup and shutdown, temperatures, fuel sequencing and water regulation, safety for both equipment and users and more. The IC3600SCBA1 is a printed circuit board (PCB).
The IC3600SCBA1 contains many electronic components on its surface. Along the right edge of the IC3600SCBA1, there is a series of metal prongs aligned. These metal prongs connect the IC3600SCBA1 to the rest of the Mark I-II system. A series of numbers is labeled along the edge of the board next to these prongs in white print. In the middle of the board, there are a number of various components. Two columns of metal cubes are aligned on either side of the IC3600SCBA1. These cube help wire the IC3600SCBA1 into the larger Mark system. These components are labeled with letters in white writing. A series of components is arranged in between these cubes in the center of the PCB. Six resistors are featured in the middle of the IC3600SCBA1. These resistors are banded in various colors such as blue, red, and gold. A small diode is also featured among these resistors. This diode is solid black. At the bottom of the IC3600SCBA1, there is a large yellow capacitor with a voltage of 100 volts.
