Product Description
The GE Field Exciter Board DS2020FECNRP015A features 7 jumpers and 2 terminal blocks with 3 terminals on each. The jumpers are identified as JP1 through JP7. The GE Line Protection Board DS2020FECNRP015A also contains multiple prong-type connectors. The board is installed on standoffs on another component of the drive. The signal wires that connect to the board originate on the component to which it is attached.
The two fuses on the board must be considered when you plan to replace the board or if you are troubleshooting the board. It is also best practice to take proper steps when you maintain the board. The fuses on the board are rated to blow only if a certain level of voltage is applied to the board. Less voltage will not harm the components. However, if more energy is introduced, the components might be damaged and to prevent that the fuses blow and the board shuts down. This protects the components from damage. When you replace a fuse, it must be rated the same as described in the written material supplied by the factory. It is best practice to have a supply of the fuses on hand so that if needed, the drive is offline for only a short period of time while the fuse is replaced.
The drive receives electric power from several power sources and if you disconnect one power supply, you might not have removed all power from the drive. Consult with someone familiar with the installation of the drive or someone familiar with the power cabling to become familiar with the power supply sources.
