Product Description
This DS200TCPSG1ARE printed circuit board product offering was originally manufactured by General Electric, for placement in the Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as identified above. This DS200TCPSG1ARE PCB's greater Mark V Series has specific applications in the management and control systems of popular and compatible wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies, as proven through the above-inserted full extended series name. While the Mark V Series from GE that this DS200TCPSG1ARE product offering belongs to has specific applications in a relatively newly-developed style of alternative technology potentially, it is still something of an outdated General Electric product series, given its obsolescence-necessitated manufacturing discontinuation that took place in the years following its initial release. With this being true, this DS200TCPSG1ARE PCB's Mark V Series is still highly-sought in the automated industrial marketplace, as it is one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the brand's patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced alongside the rollout of the Mark I Series in the mid to late 1960s. This specific DS200TCPSG1ARE printed circuit board product offering is not the original product of its specific functionality to exist within the Mark V Series; that would be the DS200TCPSG1 parent DC Power Supply Input Board missing all three of this DS200TCPSG1ARE device's three significant product revisions.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark V Series product made available to our new and reconditioned inventory here, this DS200TCPSG1ARE PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly has a functionality that is adopted through its assembly's acceptance of a specific series of hardware components and component specifications. The GE Power Supply DC Input Board model DS200TCPSG1ARE contains only one 16-pin connector, and only one 9-pin connector. There are also several integrated test points. The GE Power Supply DC Input Board DS200TCPSG1ARE also is populated with 3 replaceable fuses that protect circuits on the board. Because the fuses are replaceable there are some factors to consider before you replace a fuse. The fuses are secured to the board with clamps that also enable an electric current through the fuse. When more current than the circuit can safely use is introduced to the circuit, the element in the fuse blows which stops the current from running through the circuit and damaging the board. This DS200TCPSG1ARE printed circuit board's placement in a now-obsolete Mark V legacy product series is somewhat unfortunate, as it does not allow for consideration of this DS200TCPSG1ARE device's full range of pertinent General Electric instructional manual materials. With this in mind, the DS200TCPSG1ARE functional product number itself can be considered a strong primary source of DS200TCPSG1ARE board hardware component and component specification information, coding for various DS200TCPSG1ARE board details in a series of functional naming chunks. For instance, the DS200TCPSG1ARE functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS200 series tag describing this DS200TCPSG1ARE PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly version as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other important hardware details revealed through the DS200TCPSG1ARE functional product number include this Mark V Series PCB's:
- Normal Mark V Series assembly version
- Domestic original manufacture location
- TCPS functional product abbreviation
- Group one Mark V Series product grouping
- A-rated primary functional revision
- R-rated secondary functional revision
- E-rated artwork configuration revision
If you suspect that the DS200TCPSG1ARE board is not performing as you expect, you can open the cabinet door, find the board, and examine the fuses. When you have the cabinet door open and the drive is still receiving electric power, do not touch any components because of the safety hazard posed by the high-voltage electricity Before you start the procedure to replace the fuse, shut off the power to the drive. A qualified servicer will have the knowledge of how the drive was installed and how the drive receives electric power. Often a power supply is attached to the drive which provides the drive with DC power. To shut off the power, remove the fuses to disable the power supply. Next, to verify that no power is supplied to the drive, test the drive for power. Before making any singular ultimate purchase decision on this DS200TCPSG1ARE Mark V Series product offering, it is crucial to consider the fact that this DS200TCPSG1ARE PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly has been altered through its acceptance of two functional product revisions and a singular artwork configuration revision rated at grades of A, R, and E, respectively.
