Product Description
The GE Inverter Snubber Board DS200IQXSG1 features 8 terminal connectors. The terminals are labeled E1 through E8. The GE Inverter Snubber Board DS200IQXSG1 also contains 1 8-pin connector and 1 film capacitor mounted on the board. The capacitor is encapsulated in a blue covering that protects the internal materials and components. When the board is powered on and processing information for the drive, the capacitor stores high-voltage current and discharges it as part of the normal operations. When the drive is powered off the power in the capacitor exits after 30 seconds which makes the board safe to touch. However, to avoid any danger, you must wait 30 seconds before you touch the board.
The 8-pin connector on the board connects to a cable with a matching connector on the end. When you disconnect the cable from the connector on the board there are some guideline to follow to keep from damaging the cable. First, do not grasp the round cable section to disconnect it from the board. You might inadvertently pull the wires out of the connector and lose the signals carried by the strands of wire. The wires transmit or receive information from other components in the drive and if the wires are disconnected you cannot ascertain that by visual inspection. Only after you restart the drive can you tell if all signals are connected. The best method for disconnecting the cable is to hold it by the connector with one hand and use the other hand to support the surface of the board. Then, pull the cable out of the connector.
