About the IC3600SSVE1
The IC3600SSVE1 is a servo valve drive card. This is a type of printed circuit board or PCB. A servo valve is an electrically operated valve which controls the flow of liquids in response to an electrical input signal. The IC3600SSVE1 is one of many circuit boards in the Mark I-II turbine control series. The MKI and MKII were the first two series released in the Speedtronic Mark line. This line was created by General Electric (GE).
A metal plate is found on the left side of the IC3600SSVE1. The name SERVO VALVE DRIVE is printed at the top. Below this is a large red light-emitting diode or LED. Two round red components are positioned at the bottom of the IC3600SSVE1. These components are jacks which can be used to plug in additional components. Three (3) blue potentiometers are positioned in the center of the left edge of the IC3600SSVE1. Each potentiometer, which may also be called a variable resistor, has a small knob which an operator can use to change the resistance. On the other side of the IC3600SSVE1, there is one large black inductor. This inductor is made up of a coil of wire which is covered with black plastic. Because of this, an inductor may also be known as a coil. At least two (2) silver transistors which are circular are featured on the IC3600SSVE1. One is situated near the top right corner of the IC3600SSVE1 while the second is located near the lower left corner. Two metal oxide varistors or MOVs are positioned close to the left side of the IC3600SSVE1 near the potentiometers.
