About the DS3800NTCF1C1C
The DS3800NTCF1C1C is a PCB or printed circuit board created by GE for the Mark IV Turbine Control System Speedtronic series, which is a gas/steam turbine management system, as you have probably been able to tell based off its full extended series name alone. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series that this DS3800NTCF1C1C product belongs to is additionally seen as a desirable GE Mark product series given the fact that it is one of General Electric's final-developed Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen alongside the rollout of the initial Mark I product series in the mid to later 1960s. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800NTCF1C1C product belongs to does not yet offer compatibility with alternative energy-minded wind turbine settings, as that functionality was first introduced with the release of the later Mark VI Turbine Control System Series many years after the rollout of the Mark IV.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3800NTCF1C1C is designed as a thermocouple condition card. The MKIV uses thirteen of these cards to maintain temperature control of the turbine system. Thermocouple cards read the real exhaust temperature and then compute the difference between that reading and a pre-set reference exhaust temperature set point. The difference between these two values becomes the command signal to manage exhaust temperature. Corrupt data from any of the thirteen cards may lead to poor statistical input that can then lead to combustor or engine issues. It is imperative for the health of the system these cards are maintained in good working order. The DS3800NTCF1C1C has five jumper switches, one resistor network and four potentiometers. Resistor network arrays and potentiometers may both be used as voltage dividers. This DS3800NTCF1C1C product actually cannot be considered the originally-produced device of its specific Mark IV Turbine Control System Series functionality, as that would truthfully be the DS3800NTCF1 parent Thermocouple Condition Board not making use of this DS3800NTCF1C1C product's unique revision history.
The DS3800NTCF1C1C is alignment marked and factory drilled. It has been imprinted with the codes 6DA00 and 6BA00. Nylon extractor/inserter clips have been placed in each right corner. These are used by technicians both as lever points and as handles. The DS3800NTCF1C1C has two PCB connectors (218A4637-P4 and 218A4553-1 Amp 533002-1.) The board is built with two lines of TP test points--one line of three and one line of four. Both metal film and carbon composite resistors are used. Capacitors are polyester film, ceramic, and other material. The DS3800NTCF1C1C has eight circuits. This includes hex inverting gates with a supply voltage of 7V, and three-state output octal buffers and line drivers. All tech support for the DS3800NTCF1C1C (including datasheets and manuals) was originally the responsibility of GE. Given the fact that this DS3800NTCF1C1C NTCF-abbreviated printed circuit board product offering belongs to a now-obsolete legacy product series, the DS3800NTCF1C1C functional product number itself can actually be considered a decently-strong source of DS3800NTCF1C1C Board hardware component and component specification information; coding for specific details through a select series of GE-developed functional naming components. Some of this DS3800NTCF1C1C product's hardware information revealed through this method includes its:
- Special modular Mark IV Series assembly
- Domestic original manufacture location
- NTCF functional product abbreviation
