Product Description
As alluded to previously, this DS200FCRRG1A printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally manufactured to exist as a Firing Circuit Control Board within their Mark V Turbine Control System Series. This DS200FCRRG1A printed circuit board or PCB for short is not the original product of its intended functionality to exist within the Mark V Series; that would be the DS200FCRRG1 parent Firing Circuit Control Board missing this DS200FCRRG1A device's A-rated functional product revision. This DS200FCRRG1A PCB's greater Mark V Series must be considered a now-obsolete legacy product series, considering its eventual manufacturing discontinuation that took place in the many years following its initial release. With this DS200FCRRG1A PCB's Mark V Series' legacy series status being true, the Mark V Series is still a well-updated General Electric product series in at least one respect, as it is one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced alongside the release of the Mark I Series in the mid to late 1960s. This DS200FCRRG1A PCB is commonly abbreviated to the FCRR functional acronym.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any General Electric PCB product, Mark V Series or otherwise, this DS200FCRRG1A PCB's intended functionality is adopted with its internal assembly's acceptance of a unique series of hardware components and component specifications. The GE Firing Circuit Control Board DS200FCRRG1A features 1 terminal block with terminals for 95 signal wires. It also contains 10 2-pin connectors, 2 ribbon cables, and a programmable logic device. The DS200FCRRG1A board is also populated with multiple capacitors that store current during normal processing. When signaled to do so, the capacitors release the current. For this reason, if you touch the board when power is removed from the drive you might still be shocked by a high-voltage current from the capacitors. To prevent the risk of shock, after you remove the drive from all sources of power, wait 30 seconds for any current in the capacitors to dissipate. After that period of time, you can safely touch the board. While the capacitors in the normal assembly style of this DS200FCRRG1A Mark V Turbine Control System Series device are primarily responsible for voltage storage, other hardware components in this DS200FCRRG1A product's assembly including resistors, transistors, and integrated circuits all play a hand in this DS200FCRRG1A PCB's voltage limitation strategy.
However, another consideration involves the best practices for removing all power from the drive. The drive is attached to multiple sources of power and you must remove the drive from all of them before it is safe to work inside the drive. Often the site will document the power cable wiring and sources of power attached to a drive or other device. If that information is available, use it to find the power sources that must be disconnected. If it is not available, contact an installer or engineer familiar with the installation of the drive. If DC power is used to power the drive, an inverter that converts the AC power to DC power can be disabled to remove the DC power. If AC power is a power source, a switch or circuit breaker might be available. The above-included information surrounding this DS200FCRRG1A product is primarily un proportionately reminiscent of this DS200FCRRG1A PCB's visible hardware components paired with some basic instructional procedures. This is due to this DS200FCRRG1A Firing Circuit Control Board's legacy product status and the concurrent online unavailability of its original instructional documentation. With this in mind, the DS200FCRRG1A functional product number can be considered a great DS200FCRRG1A Board information source; coding for specific hardware details in consecutive functional naming sections. For instance, the DS200FCRRG1A functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag delegating this DS200FCRRG1A PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly and its domestic manufacture location. Some of the other relevant details revealed through use of the DS200FCRRG1A functional product number include this DS200FCRRG1A PCB's:
- FCRR functional product acronym
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated primary functional product revision
