Product Description
This DS200TCPDG1BEC printed circuit board was originally developed for placement in General Electric's Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as explained above. The Mark V Series that this DS200TCPDG1BEC printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to has specific applications in the control and management systems of compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, and is considered to exist as a General Electric legacy series given its eventual manufacturing discontinuation in the years following its initial release. While this DS200TCPDG1BEC PCB product offering's Mark V Series is considered a legacy series, it also exists as one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the company's patented Speedtronic control system technology. This DS200TCPDG1BEC PCB is truly functionally-definable as a Power Distribution Module; its original functional product description as inserted in pertinent Mark V Series instructional manual materials. While this DS200TCPDG1BEC PCB is definable as a Power Distribution Module, the originally-developed product of this functionality within the greater Mark V Turbine Control System Series is the DS200TCPDG1BEC Power Distribution Module missing all three of this DS200TCPDG1BEC product's significant revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This DS200TCPDG1BEC PCB is no different from any other Mark V Series printed circuit board available to our new and reconditioned inventory, in that it adopts its own selection of hardware component inclusions and specifications. The GE Power Distribution Board DS200TCPDG1BEC features 8 toggle switches, 36 fuses, and 4 signal wire terminals. It also has 36 OK LEDs and 1 10-pin connector. The GE Power Distribution Board DS200TCPDG1BEC is populated with black plastic housings for 36 fuses. Before making any purchase decision on this DS200TCPDG1BEC product offering, it is crucial to realize that its thrice-revised status may alter its originally-introduced performance specifications and basic dimensions greatly. As this DS200TCPDG1BEC Power Distribution Board exists as a member of a now-defunct and somewhat obscure General Electric legacy product series, the DS200TCPDG1BEC functional product number itself can be considered a good source of DS200TCPDG1BEC board hardware information, revealing this DS200TCPDG1BEC product's:
- Normal style of Mark V Series assembly
- Domestic location of original manufacture
- TCPD functional product acronym
- Normal style of PCB surface coating
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- B-rated primary functional revision
- E-rated secondary functional revision
- C-rated artwork configuration revision
The 36 fuses in this DS200TCPDG1BEC PCB's assembly are situated in a vertical position in the canisters and are easy to access and replace when needed. To replace a fuse on the board, twist the top of the canister to open it. The top remains attached to the canister for ease of use. Use your thumb and one finger to remove the fuse from the canister. It is best practice to discard the blown fuse so that is isn’t inserted into a canister again on the board accidentally. To install a new fuse, align the fuse with the opening and drop it into the canister. Either end of the fuse can be dropped into the canister. Place the top on the canister and twist it to close it. To determine that a fuse is blown and needs replacing consider that a visual inspection of the fuse is not possible because the fuse is inside the canister. However, each fuse has an LED next to it that indicates that the fuse is OK. When lit, the green LED indicates the element in the fuse is intact and working to protect the board circuit. When off, the fuses is blown or the board is not receiving power. If all the LEDs are off, you might suspect that the board is not receiving power.
