Product Description
The DS200PCCAG5ACB is a Power Connect Card (PCCA) that was created by General Electric. GE no longer offers any type of support for this board, as it belongs to a now-discontinued legacy series, and it has become a little difficult to locate. AX Control does, however, make every attempt to keep this board stocked. This DS200PCCAG5ACB Power Connect Card is not the originally-developed General Electric product of its functionality; that would be the DS200PCCAG5 Power Connect Card missing all three of this DS200PCCAG5ACB product's significant functional product revisions. The Mark V Series that this DS200PCCAG5ACB product offering belongs to is considered to exist as one of the final General Electric product series to incorporate the brand's patented Speedtronic control system technology into its various offerings. While this DS200PCCAG5ACB PCB does make use of a full, three-fold product revision history, it is also considered to possess its original, standard Mark V Series assembly style.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200PCCAG5ACB was created to be a go-between a SCR power bridge and the drive’s control circuitry within the greater Mark V Series automated drive assembly. It does this using pulse transformers which will feed the gate drive to the SCR bridge. This board is classified as a high horsepower PCCA and should be used with high HP controllers because it has eliminated all of its snubbers and has located them somewhere else in the system. Besides not having any snubbers, this DS200PCCAG5ACB board also has eliminated its use of an attenuation string. There are 12 plug connectors on the PCCA that can be used by the PCCA to send gate pulse signals that go forward and in reverse to the SCR bridge. It also can communicate with the power supply board using another one of its plug connectors. The power supply board that should be used with this system is a DCFB-type board. As with any Mark V Series printed circuit board product offering offered in our extended new and reconditioned inventory here, this DS200PCCAG5ACB PCB is to be treated as a static-sensitive model at all times, especially during installation or replacement practices. While static electricity and human skin contact can be damaging to individual DS200PCCAG5ACB board hardware components, this DS200PCCAG5ACB PCB's base circuit board has a propensity to accumulate potentially user-dangerous surface voltages, even after a powering off of its main Mark V Series automated drive assembly. To facilitate convenient and safe DS200PCCAG5ACB Power Connect Card mounting within its greater automated drive, the base circuit board of this DS200PCCAG5ACB Power Connect Card has been factory-drilled in several locations, which each drill hole being ringed with an insulated material.
This PCCA also uses Leg reactors and fuses, and uses separate or common bus transformers. The bulk amount of this provided information is reminiscent of this DS200PCCAG5ACB product's grouping within the fifth group of General Electric Mark V Series products; this grouping, as symbolized by the positioning of the G5 series grouping tag in the DS200PCCAG5ACB functional product number, is additionally telling of this DS200PCCAG5ACB Power Connect Card's 1500 V rms maximum AX Voltage as well as its compatibility specifically with J, K, and M-style Mark V Series frame components. The DS200PCCAG5ACB uses a total of 4 wire jumpers. These are labeled WP4, WP3, JP2, and JP1. This board is located just behind the drive control which is behind the power supply board. The PCCA is secured with these two boards onto the backside of a board carrier. There are 6 plastic holders that keep it secured into the carrier. Before making any ultimate purchase decision on this DS200PCCAG5ACB product offering, it is critically important to realize that this DS200PCCAG5ACB product offering's originally-indicated performance specifications and dimensions have no doubt been impacted by its acceptance of a significant B-rated functional product revision.
