About the DS200SVAAG1
This DS200SVAAG1 printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was orginally designed and produced to exist specifically as a Voltage Attenuator Board within its greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series. The Mark V Series that this DS200SVAAG1 printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to is definable as a now-obsolete legacy product series, given its obsolesence-necessitated manufacturing discontinuation in the many years following its initial release. While this is true, this DS200SVAAG1 PCB's greater Mark V product Series is additionally definable as one of the final General Electric Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first adopted by the Mark I Series in the later 1960s. This DS200SVAAG1 Voltage Attenuator Board, despite possessing a normal Mark V Series assembly version, is considered to exist as the originally-developed Mark V Turbine Control System Series device of its specific functional role; as its DS200SVAAG1 functional product number seems to contain no trailing, revision-indicating final digit.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
Modeled by General Electric to operate in the Mark V series, the DS200SVAAG1 is labeled as a Voltage Attenuator board. The primary purpose of the SVAA model is to reduce the magnitude of the input voltage signals to a prime level to ensure that the Mark V system will operate at the required voltage. The reason for the attenuator board in the Mark V system is to reduce the signal strength without affecting the system's waveform. The DS200SVAAG1 board is vital in ensuring that the Mark V system, as well as surrounding boards, such as an analog signal conditioning board, interfaces while providing filtering. Given this DS200SVAAG1 product offering's placement in a now-obsolete Mark V legacy product series, it should come as no true surprise that the DS200SVAAG1 functional product number itself can be considered a strong source of DS200SVAAG1 board hardware information and specifications, detailing important DS200SVAAG1 Board component elements in functional naming chunks. For example, the DS200SVAAG1 functional product number begins with the DS200 series tag delegating this DS200SVAAG1 product offering's normal Mark V Series assembly type as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other important hardware specifications revealed through the DS200SVAAG1 functional product number include this DS200SVAAG1 Board's:
- SVAA functional product abbreviation
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- Normal PCB coating style
The normal style of PCB coating that has been applied to the assembly of this DS200SVAAG1 Voltage Attenuator Board exists as a thick, rudimentary layer of PCB protective coating that envelops and protects invididual DS200SVAAG1 Board hardware components on a functional priority basis. There are several different features visible upon a simple visual inspection of the DS200SVAAG1 board. Some of the features on the board are amplifiers, resistors, and capacitors. The SVAA board also has terminals labeled SC1, SC3, and SC2. All of these components are fragile and caution must be taken when installing the board into the drive. If caution is not taken and the components are broken or bent it could affect the function of the board as well as the system as a whole.
