Product Description
This DS200PCCAG8A Power Connect Board was originally manufactured for use in General Electric's Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The Mark V Series, as you can probably tell by its full series description, has specific applications in the management and control systems of gas, steam, and wind turbine automated drive assemblies. This DS200PCCAG8A Power Connect Board's greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series is considered a General Electric legacy series given its eventual discontinuation by the original manufacturer, although it does also exist as one of the final General Electric Mark Series to make use of their patented style of Speedtronic control system technology. While this DS200PCCAG8A product offering is definable as a Power Connect Board in its own right, it is not the originally-produced product of that functionality to exist within the Mark V Series; that would be the DS200PCCAG8 parent Power Connect Board missing this DS200PCCAG8A product's A-rated functional product revision.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE DC Power Connect Board DS200PCCAG8A serves as an interface between the drive and the SCR power bridge. Given this DS200PCCAG8A Power Connect Board's specific Mark V Series intended functionality, it should come as no surprise that it makes use of its own specific functionality-enhancing hardware component inclusions. For starters, this DS200PCCAG8A product offering belongs to the seldom-seen eighth grouping of Mark V Series products. This attribution is pertinent to a number of DS200PCCAG8A PCB hardware specifications, including its ac and dc snubber types, its C and G styles of Mark V Series frame, its maximum Ac Volts of up to 600 V, and both line styles of fuses and reactors. On top of all this, the group 8 product grouping adhered to this DS200PCCAG8A product is reminiscent of the DS200PCCAG8A Power Connect Board's compatibility with the SDCI option printed circuit board also offered in our new and reconditioned inventory here. In terms of bus transformers, this DS200PCCAG8A product offering is able to accept both separate or common bus transformers into its assembly. Before making any final purchase decision on this DS200PCCAG8A printed circuit board, it is important to realize that its originally-introduced performance specifications and dimensions have certainly been impacted by the singular, A-rated functional product revision applied to this DS200PCCAG8A PCB.
Before you replace the DS200PCCAG8A it is best practice to verify that the board is defective. To do that, you can perform several tasks on the drive to diagnose the board. First, use the control panel to access the diagnostic information. The parameters used for the application are accessible through the control panel. The drive employs a menu structure to access the many parameters you can set up for the application. The keys on the control panel let you move up and down through the menus and edit the parameters. One menu enables you to access the diagnostic information for the drive. You can either view the diagnostic information on the display or on a laptop computer. The diagnostics provide a detailed view of all aspects of the operating condition of the drive. Use it to verify that the board is defective. You’ll receive the replacement board in a shipping carton and before you break the security seal and open it, check the box for dents, scrapes, rips, and water damage. Search for the label on the outside of the box and note the model number and match it against what you ordered. Now open the box and gather all the manuals, warranty information, and flyers and carefully read it before you attempt any replacement. It is best to keep the board in the box and wrapped in the static-protective bag until it is time to install it.
