About the DS3800NPSE
The DS3800NPSE was created by General Electric (GE). This product is a part of the Speedtronic Mark IV, often called MKIV. The Mark IV system is used to manage and automate the operations of gas and steam turbines. The Mark IV is just one of the Mark systems in the series. The DS3800NPSE is a printed circuit board (PCB). Given the fact that this DS3800NPSE device's greater Mark IV Series was discontinued for production in one of the many years past its initial release due to a manufacturer-identified full-series functional obsolescence, it is not surrounded online by any great wealth of originally-printed instructional manual materials; existing as a now-obsolete legacy GE product series. With this being the case, the Mark IV Series is still considered quite the attractive product series offering on its greater automated industrial figurative marketplace, as it is one of the final-developed GE Mark product series to take advantage of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the initial release of the Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s. The self-described Mark IV Turbine Control System Series has a series of set specifications in the control and management systems of General Electric-compatible gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3800NPSE contains many various types of electronic circuit components. The most noticeable components on the board are thirty-eight (38) yellow capacitors. Thirty-six (36) of these capacitors are medium sized. They are arranged together in rows near the center of the circuit board. Another medium-sized capacitor can be found near the upper right corner of the DS3800NPSE. The last yellow capacitor is situated near the bottom edge of the DS3800NPSE. In addition to the yellow capacitors, there are also several silver capacitors on the circuit board. These capacitors are smaller in size than the yellow ones. These silver capacitors are arranged close together at the top of the center of the DS3800NPSE. Sitting in between these capacitors are small resistors. These resistors are light blue in color. They are surrounded by bands of different colors. Also positioned among these components are three (3) blue potentiometers. Potentiometers may also be known as variable resistors. This is because each device features a small dial which can be used to adjust the device’s resistance. The DS3800NPSE also has a large metal diode near its top right corner. This diode is attached to the surface of the board with wires. Unfortunately, it is unknown or not whether this DS3800NPSE product is the originally-produced device of its specific Mark IV Turbine Control System Series functionality; given its possession of the DS3800NPSE functional product number not directly asserting any particular series grouping.
Most of the previously-listed hardware component and component specification details for this DS3800NPSE product specifically listed above have been sourced from a visual inspection of the DS3800NPSE Power Supply Board itself, given the DS3800NPSE device's legacy Mark IV Series product attribution and its concurrent lack of online-available, originally-printed instructional manual materials. With this being the case, another alternative source of DS3800NPSE Board hardware component and component specification information can be discovered in the DS3800NPSE functional product number itself, which was specially designed to illustrate a number of crucial DS3800NPSE Board hardware components through a series of General Electric-developed functional naming elements. To demonstrate, this DS3800NPSE functional product number is started off through a dual-functioning naming component in its initial DS3800 series tag describing this NPSE-abbreviated PCB's domestic original manufacture location as well as its normal style of Mark IV Series assembly. Some of the other relevant hardware details revealed through this DS3800NPSE PCB's functional product number includes its NPSE functional product abbreviation which was created to exist as a convenient functional and promotional representation of the lengthy DS3800NPSE product number itself.
