About the DS3800HPBC1C1C

The GE Parallel Line Buffer Board DS3800HPBC1C1C is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The GE Parallel Line Buffer Board DS3800HPBC1C1C also is populated with 1 red indicator LED and 2 amber LEDs  which are visible from the front of the board. The board also is populated with 3 jumpers, and multiple capacitors.

Another component on the board is a transistor to transistor logic (TTL) device. It serves as the interface logic between integrated circuits. The GE Parallel Line Buffer Board DS3800HPBC1C1C also is sensitive to high heat. The drive in which it is installed is assigned a temperature threshold. If the temperature rises above the threshold, an over temperature trip condition will shutdown the drive and prevent further processing. This is to protect the drive from damage caused by high heat. Heat can reduce the expected life span of the components. It can potentially cause a fire, or cause components to fail.  

The drive is also monitoring conditions for other trip conditions. The drive has a range of current that it can use for the power requirements. If the current is above the range, an over current condition will cause the drive to shutdown. This protects the components from damage caused by the overcurrent condition. A fire hazard can also occur from the overcurrent condition.

The drive also monitors for an overload condition. It is caused when too much power is required to drive the motor. It can damage the motor and other moving parts.
