The DS3820FE2C1B1A is part of General Electric’s Mark IV Speedtronic system. The Mark IV was designed with triple modular redundant controllers, allowing for greater reliability and stability as it controlled and managed industrial gas and steam turbine systems. Speedtronic systems (MK1-MK6e) of some kind have been in use since the early 1960s.
The DS3820FE2C1B1A is a trimmable volt power supply for the Mark IV system. These units are typically rated at 460 VAC 60 Hz. They are designed with a metal carrier that has been bolted together and that has several points to allow for proper mounting. The unit includes a heat sink for additional heat dissipation and has several fuses to protect the unit and components connected to it.
Please be aware of the dangers of working with components like power supplies that may contain high voltage or high voltage terminals. Avoid contact with these parts. The unit should not be disassembled. Be sure to check associated manuals and datasheets for handling guidelines as well as installation instructions. Mounting space should be maintained to maintain proper heat dissipation. Additionally, consult derating curves in publications for changes in output at different ambient temperatures.
