About the DS3800NCID1C1C

The DS3800NCID1C1C is a circuit board made by General Electric. It was created as part of the Speedtronic Mark IV series designed to control turbines. The DS3800NCID1C1C is a current isolator circuit board. Current isolators are very important for safety and efficient operation of systems. Using these isolators helps to reduce ground loop, get rid of conducted noise, permit measurements that are both accurate and safe, and separate different parts of the system. Isolators are also important for safety. They protect equipment, circuits, and people from electrical shock and short circuit.

The DS3800NCID1C1C prominently features an isolation amplifier marked with 4202-1. This part is labeled with its full part number, 68A9216P1. A large black transformer also stands out on the board. On the opposite side of the DS3800NCID1C1C are blue jack boxes. Each box has inside it a “male” connector port which allows other components to be connected to the board. Included on the board are also four blue potentiometers. Also called variable resistors, the dials on these potentiometers enable the resistance to be adjusted as needed. Many capacitors are located throughout the board in various colors. These capacitors can be yellow, green, black, or red. Also seen on the board are two round capacitors which are silver. Along with the capacitors, there are also many resistors on the DS3800NCID1C1C which are striped in multicolored bands. The colors of the bands represent the resistance of each component. Also included on the DS3800NCID1C1C are several diodes. Two integrated circuits, which contain tiny components on each device, are found on the DS3800NCID1C1C.
