DS3800XAIE

Product Description

The DS3800XAIE was created by General Electric (GE) to be a part of the Mark IV (MKIV). This product is what is called a printed circuit board or PCB. The Mark IV one system in the Mark series. The Mark series is responsible for controlling all of the functions of a gas or steam turbine.

The DS3800XAIE features a variety of different electronic circuit board components.  Ten (10) large capacitors are located on the PCB. Eight (8) of these large capacitors are orange. These capacitors are arranged in four (4) pairs on either side of the DS3800XAIE. The other two (2) capacitors are paired together in the center of the DS3800XAIE. These capacitors are larger than the others and are silver in color. Several small capacitors which are solid blue-green in color can be seen throughout the circuit board. Two (2) MOVs, or metal oxide varistors, are sitting close to the middle of the DS3800XAIE. These varistors are red and circular. Fourteen (14) resistors can be seen on the DS3800XAIE. Six (6) of these are placed in the center of the PCB in two (2) rows of three (3). The resistors are brown. They are covered in bands which are yellow, black, grey, and brown. The other eight (8) resistors are arranged in pairs. They are brown and feature bands which are orange and grey. Four (4) integrated circuits are situated on top of the surface of the DS3800XAIE. The integrated circuits are located near each corner of the PCB.
