About the DS3800NPIA
The DS3800NPIA was manufactured by General Electric (GE). This device is a printed circuit board or PCB. The DS3800NPIA is a small part of the Speedtronic Mark IV series or MKIV for short. The Mark IV series is a system which is used for the control of both gas and steam turbines. The MKIV is one in a series of Mark systems. These Mark systems have been in use for five (5) decades to control turbines. These systems automate turbine processes and also protect the turbine systems from damage which may be caused by operating under unsafe operating conditions. The Mark systems’ technologies are based on processes which have been practiced and refined since the late 1940s. This DS3800NPIA product's greater Mark IV Turbine Control System Series is additionally seen as an attractive General Electric product series usually due to the fact that it is one of General Electric's lastly-developed Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first rolled out with the intial release of the Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3800NPIA is a daughter board, which is a small card which can be attached to a larger board. Adding a daughter card to a larger circuit board adds extra functions and gives an operator more options. The DS3800NPIA daughter card is what is known as a high voltage input card. The DS3800NPIA is a very small printed circuit board. This card features a total of twenty (20) grey resistors on its surface. Sixteen (16) of these grey resistors are medium sized. They are labeled with the letter R, as R1 to R8 and R11 to R18. The other four (4) grey resistors are smaller than the others. They are also labeled with the letter are and are called R9 to R10 and R19 to R20. Seventeen (17) large wire links (or jumpers) can be found on the DS3800NPIA. Interestingly enough, this DS3800NPIA product specifically happens to exist as the firstly-developed product offering of its specific Mark IV Turbine Control System Series functionality; as evidenced through the fact that its DS3800NPIA functional product number makes use of no trailing, revision-indicating digit of any sort. This DS3800NPIA printed circuit board or PCB for short would whip worldwide from our North Carolina warehouse location with warrantied protection upon your original purchase.
This DS3800NPIA device, as with any General Electric product developed for the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series, is not surrounded by any great depth of originally-pertinent instructional manual materials online; likely a symptom of the Mark IV Series' status as a legacy product series that was discontinued for production in one of the many years beyond its initial release due to a manufacturer-identified full series functional obsolescence. With this being the case, alternative sources of DS3800NPIA Board hardware information must be considered as valid; chiefly in the form of the DS3800NPIA functional product number that was specially-developed by General Electric to indirectly assert a number of relevant DS3800NPIA Board hardware component specifications through a series of designed functional naming segments. For starters, this DS3800NPIA printed circuit board's DS3800NPIA functional product number begins with a dual-functioning naming segment in the form of the DS3800 series tag responsible for identifying this DS3800NPIA product's special modular Mark IV Turbine Control System Series assembly version on top of its domestic location of original General Electric manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details indirectly hinted at through the DS3800NPIA functional product number itself includes this DS3800NPIA product's NPIA functional product abbreviation.
