Description
GE DS200FSAAG2ABA
Overview
The GE DS200FSAAG2ABA is a field supply gate amplifier board designed for General Electric's Mark V turbine control system series. This board plays a critical role in managing and controlling the power supply within the system, ensuring stable and efficient operation of turbines. Although it belongs to GE's now-obsolete legacy product series (with manufacturing discontinued), it still holds significance in certain industrial setups relying on Mark V series technology.
Technical Parameters
1. Power Supply
- Input Voltage: +5 V DC
- Current Draw: 6 A
2. Connectivity
- 1 ten-pin connector
- 4 two-pin connectors
- 5 Berg-type manually movable jumpers (JP1–JP6)
- Multiple test points for easy circuit testing and troubleshooting
3. Protection
- 2 fast-acting fuses, each rated at 30 A/60 V. These fuses safeguard the board from overcurrent conditions, preventing damage to delicate components.
4. Environmental Conditions
- Operating Temperature: 0 to 60°C (32 to 140°F)
- Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing, enabling operation in diverse environmental conditions without moisture-related malfunctions.
Functional Features
1. Customizable Hardware
- The jumpers in the DS200FSAAG2ABA are factory-set to support the standard Non-Reverse Power (NRP) default mode, but can be adjusted to select NRP mode per application-specific requirements.
- The two fuses can be easily mounted or dismounted from the board’s manually identified onboard fuse block, simplifying maintenance and replacement procedures in case of fuse blowouts.
2. Efficient Connectivity
- With a combination of 10-pin and 2-pin connectors, the board can connect to multiple cables, enabling seamless integration with other components in the turbine control system. During replacement, clear identification methods (e.g., writing connector identifiers on tape and attaching to cables) prevent costly errors and streamline the replacement process.
3. Reliable Power Management
- As a field supply gate amplifier board, it amplifies and controls power supply signals, ensuring all components in the Mark V turbine control system receive appropriate power levels—critical for smooth turbine operation.
Application Areas
1. Power Generation
- Gas Turbines: Used in gas turbine power plants to manage control system power supply, regulating gas turbine operation for optimal fuel combustion and power output.
- Steam Turbines: Plays a key role in steam turbine-based power generation control systems, ensuring stable power for steam turbine control components to maintain desired speed and power generation efficiency.
- Wind Turbines: Involved in wind turbine control systems, managing power supply to components that control blade pitch, turbine yaw, and other critical functions—contributing to efficient wind energy conversion.
