About the DS3800NPID

The DS3800NPID is a printed circuit board, or PCB. This component is a part of the Speedtronic Mark IV series. Mark IV is a series of controls designed to automate a turbine system and protect the system against unsafe working conditions. The DS3800NPID was created by General Electric. This circuit board is what is called a regulator module.

A metal plate is attached to the DS3800NPID. This plate contains three (3) large metal transistors. One (1) large inductor, or coil, is attached to the plate. These transistors are connected to the surface of the circuit board by wires. Three (3) large resistors which are rectangular are located on the right edge of the DS3800NPID. These resistors are grey in color. Each resistor has a resistance of ten watts (10w). A red MOV, or metal oxide varistor, may be found on the right half of the DS3800NPID. This MOV is circular and red. Two small transistors are paired near the bottom of the DS3800NPID. The transistors are labeled as T2 and T3. Three (3) integrated circuits may be found on the bottom right side of the DS3800NPID. Arranged along the bottom edge of the DS3800NPID circuit board there are twenty-eight (28) small resistor network. These resistor networks are yellow. Each resistor network contains small resistors inside it. Two resistors are located on the right half of the DS3800NPID. These transistors are brown in color and banded in brown and white bands. Many other smaller resistors which are banded in various colors may be found all over the DS3800NPID.
