About the DS3800DGRA1F1C
The GE Regulator Turbine Control Board DS3800DGRA1F1C is designed for secure and easy installation in the drive. The board features one hole in each corner for installation using screws. The GE Regulator Turbine Control Board DS3800DGRA1F1C also is populated with 1 trimmer resistor and multiple potentiometers with dial settings. The board is also populated with multiple wire terminals and multiple jumpers.
If the GE Regulator Turbine Control Board DS3800DGRA1F1C is populated with multiple jumper wires attached to the wire terminals, consider the following information. It is best practice to use short wires if possible. That is, do not use long wires that protrude from the board. The wires might restrict the flow of air over the board. Also keep the wires flat against the board if possible. Make sure the wires are securely attached to the terminals. It is best practice to pull on them to test the connection. Make sure the wires are the appropriate gauge for the current load.
If you are replacing the GE Regulator Turbine Control Board DS3800DGRA1F1C there are several factors to consider before you install the replacement board. Remove the jumper wires from the defective board and install them on the replacement board. Make sure you install them between the same terminals and ensure that the connection is secure. Keep the wires on the board surface, if possible. This will allow the fresh air to remove the heat from the interior of the drive. Another consideration is to set the jumpers to match the settings on the defective board.
