About the IC3600TSUJ1A
The IC3600TSUJ1A is a component that was manufactured to fit into either of the first two steam/gas turbine management systems created as “Speedtronic” systems by GE. These systems, which became known as the Mark I and Mark II and were released in 1969 and 1973 respectively, were developed by GE to give their heavy-duty turbines a management system that would allow them to function more efficiently regardless of complexity or size of the system. The MKI/MKII can manage heavy-duty turbines as large as 400 Mw multi-turbine designs down to a single 4000 hp turbine. Both the MKI and MKII are not supported by GE anymore as they have become obsolete due to the continued development of more advanced systems, yet they remain in use around the world by many facilities due to their original design features of adaptability, scalability, and longevity.
The IC3600TSUJ1A has a thin front panel that has two oval slots in it, one at the top and one at the bottom. The panel is marked “reset” and “10C.” Between these markings, the panel has a push button and a red light.
The IC3600TSUJ1A has seven capacitors, thirteen transistors, and multiple lines of resistors and diodes. Capacitors on the board include three ceramic capacitors, a high voltage 25V ceramic capacitor, and two capacitors of aluminum electrolytic material that are marked 12v 200 μf and 12v 100 μf.
The IC3600TSUJ1A is built with three integrated circuits in Motorola’s 7349 series. The board uses surface wiring in several places, including wiring from the front panel components to the board and a green wire that runs from a “GND” to a screw clamp on the other side of the board.
If data sheets, manuals or other publications from the manufacturer have been retained, these are good resources for information pertaining to installation guidelines and safety data.
