About the DS3800NTCD1A1A
The DS3800NTCD1A1A is a PCB created by General Electric for their MKIV gas and steam turbine management series. The Mark IV replaces GE’s earlier turbine management systems (the MKI and MKII,) and improves upon them by enhancing the operator interface, improving reliability, and distributing control functions among powerful microcomputers using intentional redundancies on all critical controls and protection parameters. This protection system monitors and alarms such things as flame detection, over temperature, combustion monitoring, and vibration protection.
The DS3800NTCD1A1A is built with eight integrated circuits. The board also has two connectors designed to communicate with other PCBs. One of these connectors is a 17-pin right-angled male connector. The other is a 40 pin female connector.
The DS3800NTCD1A1A has one resistor network array and four potentiometers. Both of these kinds of components may be used for voltage division. The board also has five jumper switches and two test points.
The DS3800NTCD1A1A has over sixty-four capacitors. This includes thirty-two 200V polyester vinyl capacitors placed in a single parallel line, as well as the same number of 47K 10VDC capacitors placed in two parallel lines. The board is built with carbon composite resistors (CCR) as well as metal film resistors.
The DS3800NTCD1A1A has extractor clips added to each right-hand drill-mount. Nylon extractor clips use mechanical force against the chassis/guide rack to move the board out of place. They may also be used as a handle by technicians, which allows the technician to install or extract the board without touching components or circuitry.
GE was responsible for all technical support relating to the DS3800NTCD1A1A, including publications like datasheets and manuals.
