About the DS200ITXDG1A
The DS200ITXDG1A is a board component that was fabricated by GE to be used within the Speedtronic Mark V system. The MKV is one of GE’s later-developed Speedtronic systems for managing gas and steam turbines. It includes fault-tolerant TMR architecture with two-out-of-three voting on critical controls and protection parameters. The MKV has the ability to be set up in Simplex form for less complex systems, and still offers fault-tolerant control through software settings with this design. MKV boards can be purchased from AX Control as reconditioned, fully tested units. The Mark V Turbine Control System Series is aptly-named as it has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. This DS200ITXDG1A PCB is not the original product of its functionality to feature within the Mark V Series; as it was preceded by the DS200ITXDG1 parent printed circuit board missing this DS200ITXDG1A product's A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200ITXDG1A is a small board that functions as an IGBT Snubber Board. Snubbers are designed as energy absorbing circuits that can suppress voltage spikes that occur when a switch opens. The switch may be electrical or mechanical. This DS200ITXDG1A PCB is an auxiliary board that connects to a larger motherboard within its greater Mark V Series automated drive assembly. The DS200ITXDG1A is designed with drill holes at each corner and with small indents along its edges. The board has several heatsinks to allow quick dissipation of built-up heat. It is populated by several stab-on connectors, by ceramic capacitors, diodes, vertical pin header connectors, and by eight Wima FKP 1 polypropylene capacitors. These capacitors are designed for high pulse duty and are self-healing. They have a very low dissipation factor and a negative capacitance change vs. temperature. These components are placed on the board in two lines of four on opposite sides of the board. For a more detailed look at the DS200ITXDG1A, please refer to technical support products like manuals or datasheets from General Electric.
While this DS200ITXDG1A printed circuit board product offering's greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series original instructional manual materials are certainly helpful, they are somewhat uncommon given this DS200ITXDG1A IGBT Snubber Board's placement in a General Electric legacy series. With this in mind, the DS200ITXDG1A functional product number itself can be considered a great source of DS200ITXDG1A board-pertinent hardware information, beginning with the DS200 series tag possessing dual naming capabilities for this DS200ITXDG1A offering. The DS200 series tag at the very beginning of the DS200ITXDG1A functional product number describes this DS200ITXDG1A snubber board's normal Mark V Series assembly and its domestic location of original manufacture. Some of the other relevant hardware details and specifications revealed in functional chunks of this DS200ITXDG1A functional product number include the DS200ITXDG1A IGBT Snubber Board's:
- ITXD functional abbreviation
- Normal PCB coating style
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated functional product revision
