DS3800XTBA

About the DS3800XTBA

• Applications: Specifically for the control and management systems of steam and gas turbine automated drive assemblies.
• Note: Does not pertain to wind turbine control system applications; this functionality was introduced with the later Mark VI Series.
• Significance: It is one of the lastly-developed GE Mark product series to incorporate the patented Speedtronic control system technology across a range of offerings.
• Functional Acronym: XTBA.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

• Function: A small circuit board used to control steam and gas turbines.
• Steam Turbine Mechanism: Uses a large boiler heated to create steam, which turns turbine blades to produce energy.
• Gas Turbine Mechanism: Uses a combination of air and fuel in an internal combustion engine to create gases that turn turbine blades.
• Documentation: Limited original instructional manual materials online due to its legacy product series attribution.
• Product Number as Source: The DS3800XTBA functional product number can serve as a primary source of hardware information.
  • Begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag, indirectly delegating its normal Mark IV Series assembly version and domestic original manufacture location.
  • Does not indirectly mention its Mark IV Series product grouping, PCB coating style, or unique revision history due to its specialized functional status.
• Connectors:
  • One large female terminal port with twelve gold ports.
  • Three male terminal ports: one with a black casing, one with a white backing, and one with just metal pins.
• Resistors:
  • Two large black resistors.
  • Over ten small light blue resistors.
  • Resistors have up to five colored bands indicating energy withholding capacity.
• Capacitors:
  • One large orange capacitor.
  • One large orange circular capacitor.
  • Create electronic fields to hold energy for later use.
• Jumper Ports:
  • Ten sets of Jumper Ports.
  • Come with plastic covers to direct energy by covering pins.
