About the DS3800NPCS1A1B
The DS3800NPCS1A1B is a printed circuit board (PCB) which was made by General Electric (GE). The DS3800NPCS1A1B is a component of the Speedtronic Mark IV series made to control gas and steam turbines. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series that this DS3800NPCS1A1B device belongs to has to be considered something of a self-described GE Mark product series, given the fact that it has a set of specific applications in the management and control systems of General Electric-compatible gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies; not yet expanded to the alternative energy-based possible applications seen in later-developed Mark product series iterations such as the Mark VI Turbine Control System Series of essentially the same full extended series name. This DS3800NPCS1A1B product's greater Mark IV Series has to be considered obsolete in general, as it is truthfully a now-discontinued legacy General Electric product series whose production was halted given a full-series functional obsolescence identified by General Electric in one of the many years beyond its original Speedtronic Mark product series rollout.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Many different types of circuit board components are featured on the DS3800NPCS1A1B. Very noticeable on the DS3800NPCS1A1B board are four (4) large silver capacitors. Written on each capacitor are the part numbers of the devices. Each capacitor is labeled with the initial C. Four (4) mid-sized yellow capacitors labeled with the initial C are also found on the circuit board. Every capacitor is labeled with its part number 708A1. Situated in between the large capacitors are four (4) large black resistors. Every resistor features a wattage of 10 watts (10w). Four (4) red metal oxide varistors are featured on the DS3800NPCS1A1B. Each of these varistors is labeled with the initials MOV, from MOV1 through MOV4. A metal oxide varistor (MOV) is what is called a voltage-dependent resistor. Voltage-dependent resistors are passive two-terminal solid-state semiconductors that provide protection for electronic circuits.
Four (4) devices which are called silicon unilateral switches (SUS) can also be seen on the DS3800NPCS1A1B. Every switch is labeled with the initials SUS, from SUS1 through SUS4. Located on one side of the DS3800NPCS1A1B is a series of twenty (20) small resistors which are light blue in color. Every resistor is labeled with the initial R. Centered on the surface of the DS3800NPCS1A1B are four (4) small diodes which are black and grey in color. Each of these diodes is designated with the letters CR. Also seen on the side of the DS3800NPCS1A1B are jumper pins that have blue jumpers. Given the fact that this DS3800NPCS1A1B Field Exciter Snubber Board has been considered a Mark IV Series product, it is not surrounded by any great wealth of originally-printed instructional manual materials. With this being the case, the DS3800NPCS1A1B Field Exciter Snubber Board's functional product number itself can be considered a decently-valid primary source of DS3800NPCS1A1B Field Exciter Snubber Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for a set of relevant DS3800NPCS1A1B Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for various DS3800NPCS1A1B Board details in a series of consecutive functional naming chunks. For starters, this DS3800NPCS1A1B functional product number begins with an instance of the dual-functional DS3800 series tag indirectly asserting this DS3800NPCS1A1B product's normal Mark IV Series assembly on top of its domestic original manufacture location.
