About the DS200GGDAG1AHE
This DS200GGDAG1AHE Gas Turbine Gate Driver Board has additional functionality as a GTO Gate Driver Board, as both of these functional descriptions appear in this DS200GGDAG1AHE product offering's originally-printed Mark V Turbine Control System Series instructional manual materials. The Mark V Series that this DS200GGDAG1AHE printed circuit board belongs to, as evidenced by its full extended series name, has specific applications in the control and management systems of compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is considered a legacy General Electric Mark product series due to its manufacturing discontinuation in the many years following its initial release. While this DS200GGDAG1AHE printed circuit board product offering's greater Mark V Series is considered a legacy series, it also exists as one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the company's patented Speedtronic control system technology. This DS200GGDAG1AHE PCB, while definable as a Gas Turbine Gate Driver Board, is not the originally-developed Mark V Turbine Control System Series product of this functionality; that would be the DS200GGDAG1 parent Gas Turbine Gate Driver Board missing all three of this DS200GGDAG1AHE product's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
To gain full functionality as a Gas Turbine Gate Driver Board within its greater Mark V Series automated drive assembly, this DS200GGDAG1AHE printed circuit board recuits a particular set of hardware components and component specifications. The GE GTO Gate Driver Board DS200GGDAG1AHE features 2 3-pin connectors and 2 bayonet connectors. The GE GTO Gate Driver Board DS200GGDAG1AHE also contains 2 sets of 4 LEDs. Each set has 1 red LED, 1 amber LED, and 2 green LEDs. The other set of LEDs is visible from the edge of the board which is helpful when the board is installed in the board rack in the drive. The 20 VDC capacitor on the board protrudes from the board and is libel to be broken off the board if the board sustains a sharp blow. For this reason when you remove the board from the cabinet, use care that it doesn’t knock against the edges of the opening.
When you install the GE GTO Gate Driver Board DS200GGDAG1AHE locate the board in a position in the rack where the LEDs positioned on the side of the board are visible to the operator. One set of LEDs are installed on the board and are visible from a top view of the board. This set of LEDs are useful if you are testing the board. The LEDs can indicate if an error has occurred or if a fatal error has occurred. The green LEDs indicates if the board is working as designed. The other set of LEDs is visible from the edge of the board which is helpful when the board is installed in the board rack in the drive. With one quick inspection the operator can verify that the board is operational or if a problem has occurred. The amber LED indicates if an error has occurred but the board is still operating. The OK LED indicates that the board is healthy and is functioning as designed.
While this DS200GGDAG1AHE product offering's basic performance specifications and LED settings are certainly important to know, some of this DS200GGDAG1AHE device's more general classification information is revealed through use of the DS200GGDAG1AHE functional product number itself, which begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag designating this DS200GGDAG1AHE PCB's domestic manufacture location and normal Mark V Series assembly. Some of the other DS200GGDAG1AHE board-specific hardware details embedded in functional naming chunks within the functional DS200GGDAG1AHE product number include this DS200GGDAG1AHE PCB's GGDA functional acronym, its normal style of PCB protective coating, its group one Mark V Series grouping, and its full, three-fold revision history.
