Product Description
The GE Emergency Overspeed Board DS200TCEAG1BTF features one microprocessor and sockets for multiple programmable erasable read only memory (EPROM) modules. It also contains 3 fuses, 30 jumpers, and 2 bayonet connectors. The fuses on the GE Emergency Overspeed Board DS200TCEAG1BTF are used to protect the components on the board from voltage spikes or other irregular voltage conditions. Each fuse protects a component or multiple components on the board. Each fuse has an ID on the board. Each fuse is prefixed with FU and suffixed with a number. For example, one fuse is FU1, one is FU2, and one other is FU3.
When you replace a fuse you must make sure to replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating. A fuse that allows more current might cause damage to the board components. For that reason inserting a fuse with the same specification is important.
If you suspect that the board is not performing as expected, you might inspect the fuses to see if they are intact. If one fuse is blown it is a simple task to replace it. To replace a fuse, use your thumb and forefinger to remove the blown fuse from the fuse connector. Then, align the new fuse over the clips on the fuse connector and press it into the connector.
It is best practice to keep on hand a supply of the exact type of fuses that are required for the board. If a fuse blows, it can be replaced quickly and thus reduce downtime for the drive.
