About the DS3800NMEC1G1G

The DS3800NMEC1G1G is considered a motor exciter control board for the Speedtronic (Mark IV) line from General Electric. The DS3800NMEC1G1G and other circuit boards in the Speedtronic Mark IV line are used to control and run gas and steam turbines. A turbine uses an internal combustion engine to mix fuel and air to cause a contained explosion. This explosion creates a series of gases that are under pressure and force there way out causing the turbine to move. The energy created by the moving turbine is then harnessed and used for a multitude of other purposes. The DS3800NMEC1G1G has six male connection points to connect with the circuit boards surrounding it. The DS3800NMEC1G1G has ten half circle black transistors.

The DS3800NMEC1G1G has thirty-five integrated circuits which hold all the programming information for the DS3800NMEC1G1G. The integrated circuits are split into EPROM and EEPROMs. The only difference between these two is EPROM can be altered while EEPROMs cannot. The DS3800NMEC1G1G has a variable resistor or Potentiometer. The variable resistor can be identified by the black knob with a white arrow in the center. This knob allows the worker to adjust the variable resistor from zero to one-hundred, with ten-degree increments. The DS3800NMEC1G1G also has a silver square called a crystal oscillator which uses a crystal to create a high and precise frequency. The DS3800NMEC1G1G has a few capacitors (hold energy in an electric field) and diodes (allow energy to follow in only one direction). The DS3800NMEC1G1G has nearly one-hundred resistors (restrict the amount of energy that flows through them).
