About the IC3600VBCU1B
The IC3600VBCU1B is a component for the Mark I/Mark II series from GE. The MKI was the very first of the Speedtronic gas/steam turbine management series released by GE. This came out in 1969. The MKII took a few more years of development but soon followed in 1973. Both systems were designed to provide the turbine user with the highest degree of performance, adaptability, and reliability in turbine control the current technology could provide, with fully automatic control of the gas turbine and load system. The MKI and MKII were designed to break down into several major components, including the control system, the sequencing sector, the protective system, monitoring programs, and a power system that is independent of the rest of the system. Now considered outdated and obsolete, both systems no longer receive support from GE. However, they continue to be used by facilities around the world.
The IC3600VBCU1B has eleven integrated circuits, seven diodes, and a single ceramic high-voltage capacitor. Circuits are placed on the board in three alternating lines. The board is heavily printed with silver traces. Many traces connect empty through-holes.
The IC3600VBCU1B has a single communication device located along one long edge. This is in the form of fifty-one right-angled pins. The board is factory drilled in the corners opposite from these pins.
The IC3600VBCU1B is marked with the GE logo. It carries the code 68A993378C as well as the board ID number. Most components carry a number and a component designator code.
The IC3600VBCU1B will be carefully packaged and protected by a static-reducing covering during shipment. Review of safety data (which can be found in manuals or datasheets) is recommended before you unbox your part and begin your installation.
