About the DS3800NFIB1D1B
The DS3800NFIB1D1B is a PCB which is part of the Speedtronic Mark IV series. The Mark IV series was created by General Electric. Mark IV was made to automate all aspects of turbine control in both gas and steam turbines. The Mark series have been in use for turbine control for decades, since the first Mark system was created in the 1960s. The technology that was used for the Mark systems has been developed and refined since the 40s. The Mark IV system controls fuel in accordance with the turbine’s requirements. The Mark IV controls temperature and the injection of and water and steam. The Mark IV regulates the turbine’s automatic startup, shut down, and cool down operations. A system of diagnostics which is helpful for troubleshooting is also featured in the Mark IV. The Speedtronic Mark IV system controls fuel, air, and emissions. It also sequences fuel and monitors all turbine functions.
The DS3800NFIB1D1B is what is known as a fan loss printed circuit board. The fan loss circuit protects the turbine system from overheating. If the power unit fan stops working, the contacts open. The thermostat contacts stop the turbine’s operation in the event of a fan loss. This prevents the turbine from operating without the cooling forced air of a fan. Operating without the air flow could cause damage to the power unit components.
If the DS3800NFIBIDIB requires technical support or troubleshooting, General Electric should be contacted. The DS3800NFIBIDIB is shipped packaged in materials which eliminate any static charge which builds during shipping.
