About the IC3600TPSE1A
The IC3600TPSE1A is a GE FANUC component for the first two of the Speedtronic gas/ steam management systems developed and released by General Electric. The Mark I and Mark II, as they were named, were GE’s first Speedtronic management systems that were specifically designed to improve the efficiency of heavy-duty turbine systems regardless of size or complexity. GE focused on making the MKI and MKII adaptable and scalable, able to manage a 400 Mw multi-unit power station as easily as it could a single 4000 Hp unmanned setup. Both management systems have been used in the running of many types of turbine designs between these two examples, and although they are now considered obsolete by GE and are no longer supported by the manufacturer, are still being used even today.
The IC3600TPSE1A functions as a 9V Converter card. It is marked on the surface of the board with several bits of information, including the GE round logo, the codes “PDA” and “68A999196G1.” The board is fronted by a small, grey panel. This panel is blank. The panel connects to the board by fitting around the edge top and bottom.
The IC3600TPSE1A is built with one transformer and one circular coil inductor. A grey housing protects the coil inductor. The transformer uses surface wiring to connect to the board. These wires are white, black, red and green. The board has five transistors, including three small black transistors and two bipolar Motorola transistors. Other components on the board include ceramic and aluminum electrolytic capacitors, ceramic diodes, and carbon composite resistors. Many components have been attached to the board vertically.
