Product Description
This IS215AEPAH1A printed circuit board was originally designed for General Electric's Mark VIe Series. This Mark VIe Series is a series of Wind Turbine System Controls and System Control component products that were actually manufactured by the GE Energy company, the alternative energy manufacturing company that exists as a shell company to the greater General Electric industrial giant retailer. This is a revised printed circuit board, having been modified from its original IS215AEPAH1 parent board through the inclusion of a singular functional revision rated at an "A" grade. This GE Energy Mark VIe Wind Turbine Series printed circuit board can be more accurately defined by its functional description as a Alternative Energy Power Assembly, although original factory-issued instructional manual documentation surrounding this product posits its status simply as an AEPA Card Module Assembly
Hardware Tips and Specifications
This IS215AEPAH1A Alternative Energy Power Assembly is perhaps best understood when its hardware elements are contextualized in terms of this printed circuit board's intended function. A first descriptor of this AEPA-abbreviated product's function exists in its functional description as an Alternative Energy Power Assembly. This functional description happens to match up exactly with this product's AEPA functional acronym, a rare blessing for a specialized Mark VIe Series product. The very series that this IS215AEPAH1A board belongs to actually sheds additional light on this product's functionality. Considering the IS215AEPAH1A PCB's placement in the Mark VIe Wind Turbine Control System Series, it should come as no great surprise that this GE Energy board is intended for use in Wind Turbine applications, specifically.
Now that this IS215AEPAH1A printed circuit board's functional status as an Alternative Energy Power Assembly has been described, it is possible to focus on some of the hardware specifications available to this Mark VIe Wind Turbine Series product. Considering this product offering's placement in the specialized and recently-developed Mark VIe Wind Turbine series, original product-specific instructional manual materials detailing the hardware of this IS215AEPAH1A PCB are practically nonexistent online. With this being said, most of the information following on this page has been sourced from a diligent breakdown of this board's IS215AEPAH1A functional product number, which begins with the IS215 series tag. This initial Mark VIe series tag identifies this board as a Alternative Energy Power Assembly with a special assembly version. This IS215 series tag has dual naming functionality for this IS215AEPAH1A product; also outlining its status as a domestically-manufactured GE printed circuit board. This PCB's location of original manufacture can be more specifically tracked down to General Electric's Salem, Virginia factory location. Following the IS215 series tag in this IS215AEPAH1A product number is an instance of the AEPA functional acronym, which itself is quickly followed by the H1 series grouping tag, which like the aforementioned IS215 series tag, offers dual naming conventions for this product. This H1 grouping tag reveals this product offering to be a conformally-coated printed circuit board with a group one Mark VIe Series grouping. While the conformal style of printed circuit board coating specific to this power assembly is well-documented, considering its far-reaching use on General Electric circuit boards, the true meaning of this part's group one Mark VIe series alignment has been lost. The final A digit that finishes the IS215AEPAH1A product number is a reference to this part's A-rated functional revision, which may impact the performance specifications and originally-measured dimensions of this IS215AEPAH1A product greatly.
