About the DS200SDCIG2A
The GE DC Power Supply and Instrumentation Board DS200SDCIG2A serves as an interface to DC2000 drives. The DS200SDCIG2A is a static-sensitive device, meaning that any static electricity that builds up in it might cause damage to the board or the drive in which it is installed. There are a few guidelines you can follow that apply to handling the board before you install it. Static electricity can build up in you as well as the device, so try to refrain from walking around before the installation. When you do touch the board, only hold it by the edges and not touch the solder or components and make sure only one person touches the board to limit the exposure to static electricity.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Now that some of the crucial installation guidelines for this Mark V Series product have been explored, it is possible to discuss the various hardware choices made by this DS200SDCIG2A General Electric product. For starters, this DS200SDCIG2A Power Supply incorporates several Berg-type jumpers into its internal assembly. These jumpers have been included for customization purposes, with each being marked by an individual reference designator of JP. The first jumper in the assembly of this Mark V Series SDCI-abbreviated product is the JP1-labeled jumper, which is responsible for the slaving of this assembly's MD contactor drive hardware output. The second jumper in the assembly of this DS200SDCIG2A Power Supply and Instrumentation Board has the JP2 reference designator label, and controls this Mark V Series product's MA ac contactor drop-out time. The final remaining jumper or customizable hardware switch available to the SDCI PCB is the SW1-labeled jumper, which selects ac line CT burdens relative to their nominal dc output current.
As you inspect the DS200SDCIG2A you’ll notice that the board has 5 fuses that protect the board from over-current situations, short circuits, and defective MOV assemblies and SCR packages. As a feature to speed up the troubleshooting procedure, each fuse has a LED that lights with the fuse blows. The board has a dedicated slot in the drive cabinet that is behind another board, so you can’t see the LED when lit. If you suspect one or more fuses have blown, you can remove the board and place it on a clean surface or workbench. A qualified individual can apply current to the board and cause the LED to light. All of the hardware configurations and individual components listed above should be relatively well-protected by the layer of normal-style printed circuit board coating offered to this specific Mark V Series product offering.
