About the DS3800HPTF
This DS3800HPTF printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and manufactured specifically for the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800HPTF printed circuit board or PCB for short can be considered a component member has to be considered a generally-obsolete GE Mark product legacy series iteration, given the fact that it was discontinued for production in the many years past its initial release due to a manufacturer-identified full-series functional obsolescence. With this being the case, the DS3800HPTF printed circuit board's greater Mark IV Turbine Control System Series is still seen as quite the well-respected and sought General Electric Mark product series; given the fact that its manufacture was discontinued due to a retailer-identified full-series functional obsolescence at some point within the many years following its original General Electric product series rollout. While this may be the case, this DS3800HPTF PCB's greater Mark IV Series is still quite the desirable General Electric product series on its greater automated industrial marketplace, given the fact that it is one of the company's lastly-developed Mark Series iterations to take advantage of their patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the initial Mark I Series way back in the 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3800HPTF is a very small circuit board from General Electric that is used in their Mark IV Speedtronic Turbine line. The DS3800HPTF is used to control gas or steam turbines. The gas and steam turbines are a fast way to provide energy and flexible fuel. A gas turbine builds pressure by using a combination of air and fuel in an internal combustion engine to create a mixture of gases to turn the turbine blades. A steam turbine uses a large boiler which is filled with water. The boiler is then heated to create large amounts of steam which then turns the blades of the turbine. The energy produced by the spinning turbine blades is then harnessed for other purposes. The DS3800HPTF has ten large light brown resistors and four medium black resistors. The resistors restrict energy flow through the circuit board. The amount of energy that the resistors can restrict is labeled along the outside of the resistor with colored rings. The DS3800HPTF has one orange capacitor, one small red circular capacitor, one large yellow capacitor, and one super large yellow capacitor. The capacitors create an electrical field that stores extra energy for the circuit board to use later. The DS3800HPTF has four small black and silver diodes, one small orange and black diode, eight medium grey diodes, and one red LED. The DS3800HPTF has five male terminal ports. The DS3800HPTF has two large black squares in the center of the circuit board. The DS3800HPTF has four small circular transistors.
The above-included information on this DS3800HPTF Turbine Control Board's personalized product page here is truly reminiscent of a visual inspection of the DS3800HPTF product offering itself, which was deemed necessary given this DS3800HPTF device's greater Mark IV Series' lack of original instructional manual materials available online. With this being true, the DS3800HPTF functional product number itself can actually be sought out as a decent supplemental source of DS3800HPTF Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for these various details through a series of consecutive functional naming components. For instance, the DS3800HPTF functional product number in this case begins with the dually-functioning DS3800 series tag that is indirectly responsible for classifying both this DS3800HPTF product offering's normal Mark IV Series assembly version as well as its more standard domestic General Electric manufacture location. The other relevant hardware detail made obvious in the DS3800HPTF functional product number would have to be described as the HPTF functional product abbreviation responsible for delegating both this DS3800HPTF Board's domestic original location of manufacture as well as its normal style of Mark IV Series printed circuit board assembly. Unfortunately for the sake of this DS3800HPTF personalized product page here; this DS3800HPTF PCB is not surrounded by any great wealth of originally-printed instructional manual materials online.
