Product Description
The DS200IPCSG1A model was designed by General Electric as an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) P3 Snubber Card (IPCS). When General Electric was manufacturing this model, it was designed to be used in either the Mark V or EX2000 series. The Mark V Series is one of the more recently-developed General Electric product lines that incorporates their patented Speedtronic technology into its products. While the Mark V is a recent product series making use of this technological style, it is also considered to exist as a legacy product series as its manufacture has been discontinued by General Electric in recent years. This DS200IPCSG1A printed circuit board product offering, while definable as am IGBT P3 Snubber Card, is not actually the original product with its intended functionality to be manufactured for the Mark V. The original printed circuit board manufactured for the Mark V Series to exist as an IGBT P3 Snubber Card would be the DS200IPCSG1 printed circuit board; notably missing this DS200IPCSG1A product's singular significant product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
While the DS200IPCSG1A model can still be found, the documentation regarding how the model operates or how it will be installed within the Mark VI cabinet is limited due to being out of production. The last known publication of the manual that was used was in 2000. With that in mind, most of the information stored within the bounds of this personalized DS200IPCSG1A product page has been pulled from a diligent visual inspection of the model and a breakdown of the DS200IPCSG1A functional product number. There are six screws visible on this model, which are used for adjusting the hardware of the connected IGBT model; to adjust the screws, a screwdriver is required. The screws that will be used to adjust the IGBT hardware are labeled as C2E-1-A, C2E1-B, C2E-2-B, C2E-2-A, C1-A, and C1-B. Please make sure when adjusting the screws, extreme caution must be taken as the screws could potentially snap and would then need to be replaced. As with many other models produced by General Electric, the DS200IPCSG1A model will also be connected to a power source; when the model is connected to a power source and the unit needs to be repaired or replaced power must be removed, not removing the power supply could rest in injury or in some extreme cases death. It should also be noted that when adjusting the screws on the IPCS model, power should be removed to prevent shock.
The DS200IPCSG1A functional product number, as mentioned above, is a strong source of supplementary hardware specifications for this particular DS200IPCSG1A device. The DS200IPCSG1A functional product number begins with the DS200 series tag, which designates the DS200IPCSG1A PCB's normal style of Mark V Series assembly and its domestic location of original manufacture. This DS200 series tag is followed in the DS200IPCSG1A functional product number by an instance of the ICPS functional abbreviation, which was created to exist as a functional shorthand alternative to the lengthy DS200IPCSG1A product number. The DS200IPCSG1A functional product number continues with the G1 series grouping tag which, similarly to the DS200 series tag, has dual naming responsibilities for this Mark V Series product offering. The G1 series grouping tag present here asserts the DS200IPCSG1A PCB's status as a Mark V Series Group One member that is protected through the use of a normal style of PCB protective coating. The trailing A digit in the DS200IPCSG1A functional product number is telling of the A-rated functional product revision made to this DS200IPCSG1A PCB's normal assembly; which no doubt alters it from its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions.
