About the DS3800XAIF
General Electric, or GE, made the DS3800XAIF as a component in the MKIV or Speedtronic Mark IV turbine management system. The DS3800XAIF is what is known as a PCB or printed circuit board. The Mark IV is the third system in the Mark series. The Mark IV is relied on to manage and automate all of the operations of both steam and gas turbines.
The DS3800XAIF PCB features many various electronic circuit board components. The DS3800XAIF features ten (10) large capacitors. Eight (8) of the capacitors are orange in color. They are arranged in four (4) pairs, two pairs on each side of the DS3800XAIF. Two (2) larger capacitors sit next to each other near the middle of the DS3800XAIF. These capacitors are silver and made of metal. Many small bluish-green capacitors are located around the DS3800XAIF. Two (2) red MOVs, or metal oxide varistors, sit near the center of the DS3800XAIF. The varistors are round and red in color. Fourteen (14) resistors are featured on the DS3800XAIF. Six (6) resistors are placed in the middle of the DS3800XAIF in two rows with three resistors each. These large resistors are brown and striped with bands which are yellow, black, grey, and brown. The remaining eight (8) resistors are situated in the board in four pairs. These resistors are brown. They have colored bands which are grey and orange. There are four (4) integrated circuits positioned on the surface of the DS3800XAIF. This PCB has four (4) integrated circuits which are located close to the four corners.
