About the DS3800NSCC
This particular DS3800NSCC printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and produced specifically for the trusted automated industrial retailer's Mark IV Turbine Control System Series. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800NSCC printed circuit board product offering or PCB for short belongs to did not receive its full extended series name by mistake, as it really does specifically pertain to control systems and management systems of popular General Electric-compatible gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies. With this being the case, this DS3800NSCC product's greater Mark IV Series must be considered generally an obsolete GE product series, as it is truly a legacy GE product series whose original manufacture was discontinued due to a full-series functional obsolescence at some point following its original release. With this being true, this DS3800NSCC product's Mark IV Turbine Control System Series is still very much an acclaimed offering on its greater automated industrial promotional marketplace given its additional status as one of the final-developed GE mark product series to incorporate their patented Speedtronic control system technology into a range of different offerings.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3800NSCC from GE is a Speed Current Regulator board for the Mark IV series. This series was designed for steam or gas turbine management and is built with triple redundant backups on all critical parameters and controls. The DS3800NSCC is built with two PCB mating connectors, which are located on opposite sides of the board. On the right side there is a 218A4637P1 87936-1 connector, and on the left, there is a 218A4553-1A/mp 533002-1. The board is numbered by tens (from ten to eighty) behind this second connector. It also has one Augat connector. The DS3800NSCC has one amber LED, which is labeled “Imok.” The board has fourteen test points. These are labeled Acom, Fcl, Sra, Tstn, Sp, Tstt, Out, Rcl, Fc1, Tstc, Sus, Rlt, Rla, and Sua. The DS3800NSCC is built with polyester film capacitors, including 708D1 m/e .10 +/- 10% 80v. It also has various smaller ceramic capacitors. The majority of the resistors on the board are made of ceramic covered metal film.
The DS3800NSCC has been marked for alignment along two edges. It has extractor/inserter clips installed. Extractors help technicians install or extract the PCB from tight locations without damaging circuitry or components, as it gives them both a handle to hold the board by and a lever to action to board out of position with (by pushing the clips against the chassis frame.) The DS3800NSCC is built with multiple circuits, including quad 2-input exclusive-or gates and quadruple differential comparators. All technical support for the DS3800NSCC was originally provided to the end user by General Electric in a series of originally-printed instructional manual materials, although many of these described materials have been lost as a function of this DS3800NSCC product's legacy product series attribution. With this being the case, the DS3800NSCC functional product number itself can be identified as a decent source of DS3800NSCC hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for these details through a series of consecutive functional naming elements. For example, this DS3800NSCC functional product number starts off with an instance of the dual-functional DS3800 series tag responsible for delegating this DS3800NSCC product's normal Mark IV Series assembly as well as its domestic location of original General Electric manufacture. This is immediately followed through the NSCC functional product acronym, which was created to exist as a functional conversational representation of the entire DS3800NSCC functional product number.
