DS3800NPSM

About the DS3800NPSM

The DS3800NPSM is what is known as a power supply panel. This device is a component in the Speedtronic Mark IV series made for turbine controls. The Mark IV system was created for the automation of turbine controls. It was also designed to protect the turbines from the unsafe working conditions. The DS3800NPSM was created by General Electric.

Prominently displayed on the DS3800NPSM are two inductors which are situated by the top of the circuit board. Inductors are also called coils. An empty space to the right of these two inductors can house a large capacitor. Another inductor is situated on the DS3800NPSM under the other two. Six wires attach the third inductor to the DS3800NPSM circuit board. Two large metal diodes are located next to the inductor. The diodes are labeled by the initials CR1 and CR2. Each diode is connected to the DS3800NPSM by black wires. Two large transistors are positioned in the lower left-hand corner of the DS3800NPSM. On top of every transistor, the part number 12SE314 8747 is labeled. Four large capacitors which are orange can be found in the lower right corner of the DS3800NPSM. One fuse marked with the designator FU1 is located on the right side of the circuit board. Two LEDS, or light-emitting diodes, are sitting next to this fuse. A red switch is sitting between the two LEDs. Two integrated circuits are seen near the center of the DS3800NPSM. Two medium capacitors are may also be seen in the center of the DS3800NPSM.
