About the DS3800NPSJ1B1C
GE (General Electric) produced the DS3800NPSJ1B1C as a part of the Mark IV (MKIV) system for turbine management. The DS3800NPSJ1B1C is a type of PCB (printed circuit board). Mark IV is one of the systems which make up the Mark turbine operation series. The Mark systems ensure that gas and steam turbines are working correctly and also safeguard the turbines against potential damage.
Much of the DS3800NPSJ1B1C is covered with various small components. A variety of devices such as resistors, diodes, and capacitors can be found all over the DS3800NPSJ1B1C. Many of the blue resistors are covered in bands of different colors. Several of the small resistors are solid blue or reddish brown. The DS3800NPSJ1B1C contains many capacitors in different sizes and colors. Most of these capacitors are silver in color. Several larger capacitors are also situated on the DS3800NPSJ1B1C. Two (2) larger yellow capacitors can be seen close to the side of the DS3800NPSJ1B1C. Situated next to the yellow capacitors is one (1) large silver capacitor. Another silver capacitor which is mid-sized is positioned on another end of the DS3800NPSJ1B1C. The DS3800NPSJ1B1 also contains five (5) integrated circuits. The part number LM148D/8838 is written on the top of each integrated circuit. A series of eleven (11) test points is lined up on one of the edges of the DS3800NPSJ1B1C. Using these test points, the operator can test the board to make sure it is in good working condition. Along the same edge as the test points is one (1) orange light-emitting diode (LED).
