About the DS3800NTBG1A1A
The DS3800NTBG1A1A is a PCB from GE for the Mark IV. The MKIV is a gas or steam turbine control management system that protects the turbine from such issues as fire, vibration, over-speed, and high pressure. It is able to crank the turbine, bring it to purging speed, fire it, and synchronize the turbine to line; these processes happen automatically.
The DS3800NTBG1A1A is not specified as a thermocouple card. It is, however, built with two thermocouple components. The MKIV series uses many thermocouple cards. Measurement of exhaust temperature is done by using the average values taken from thirteen thermocouple cards located around the exhaust plenum. This output then decides how fuel is fed to the turbine. It’s easy to understand why all cards must remain in good working order to avoid engine issues or statistical losses.
The DS3800NTBG1A1A is drilled two times in each corner. Screws inserted through these drill points connect to spacers located under the PCB, and then to a DIN mounting plate. There are connections in each corner. The DS3800NTBG1A1A’s has a printed surface pattern; all through-hole components and screw mountings avoid cutting through this pattern.
The DS3800NTBG1A1A has very few components. Components on the board include three male vertical-pin PCB mating connectors, several rows of capacitors, and two thermocouple components. The mounting plate connected to the PCB is designed with one upward facing flange and two downward facing flanges. There is a single line of screw mounts on the top of the upward facing flange. This flange also has screw holes drilled into its side.
Our team will protect the DS3800NTBG1A1A with a static-reducing covering or sleeve before it leaves our warehouse. Manufacturer-provided instructions should be reviewed before installation begins. Manuals and data sheets for this product were provided by GE. Technical support for the DS3800NTBG1A1A was provided by GE.
