About the DS3800NCIB1C1C

The DS3800NCIB1C1C was created by General Electric. It is an important part in the Speedtronic Mark IV series for turbine control. The DS3800NCIB1C1C is a current isolator circuit board. Current isolators can be helpful in a system for many reasons. The use of a current isolator reduces ground loop, gets rid of conducted noise, keeps parts physically separate from one another and enables safe and accurate measurements to be taken. The current isolator also provides a measure of safety. Use of an isolator protects users from equipment which may be faulty and protects circuits and equipment as well as people from short circuits and electrical shocks.

The DS3800NCIB1C1C has a variety of circuit components. One blue transformer can be identified by its part number, 218A4834-P1. There is also a second transformer which is black and identifiable by its part number, 4202-1. The DS3800NCIB1C1C features jack boxes which are blue. Male connector ports are located inside the jack boxes and allow other components to be connected to the DS3800NCIB1C1C. On one side of the circuit board are three potentiometers. These potentiometers have dials that let the user change the resistance of the device to suit their needs. Potentiometers can also be known as variable resistors. Two integrated circuits are included on the DS3800NCIB1C1C board. Various devices are featured on each integrated circuit. These tiny devices can include resistors, capacitors, and diodes among others. A wide range of capacitors is found on the DS3800NCIB1C1C board. Plenty of resistors are also on the DS3800NCIB1C1C. These resistors have colored bands which signify each resistor's capacity for resistance.
