Description
GE DS3800DGRC1B1C
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: DS3800DGRC1B1C
- Manufacturer: General Electric (GE)
- Product Series: Mark IV DS3800
- Board Type: Generator Regulator Circuit Board
Functional Features
- Voltage Regulation: Generates a fixed output voltage that remains constant despite changes in input voltage or load conditions.
- Excitation Control: Regulates the generator’s excitation system to control output voltage and frequency.
- System Protection: Provides protection against over-voltage, over-current, and stalling conditions.
- Adjustable Configuration: Features multiple jumper pins with blue jumpers that allow operators to alter and customize the board’s functions.
Application Scenarios
Primarily deployed in power generation plants for controlling large synchronous generators, as well as in industrial facilities requiring highly stable and reliable power supplies.
Performance Parameters
- Regulation Precision: Maintains consistent electrical voltage levels under varying load conditions.
- Reliability: Designed for continuous, fault-tolerant operation in mission-critical power generation environments.
Material Composition
Constructed with a multi-layer printed circuit board populated with square gold capacitors, yellow battery-shaped capacitors, multicolored striped resistors, and larger solid grey and dark red resistors.
Structural Characteristics
The rectangular board features two black connector ports, one black switch, one red switch, and is labeled with letters A through J along one of its longer edges. It is shipped in a static discharge bag for safety.
Working Principle
The board acts as a buffer and regulator by continuously monitoring the generator’s output. It adjusts the excitation current to the generator’s rotor, ensuring that the stator produces a stable, fixed voltage regardless of fluctuations in the mechanical input or electrical load.
Installation Requirements
- Must be installed in the designated regulator slot within the Mark IV control rack.
- Proper grounding and shielding are required to prevent electromagnetic interference.
- Configuration jumpers must be set according to the specific generator’s electrical specifications before powering up.
Usage Precautions
- Always handle the board with strict Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions.
- Ensure all static energy is discharged prior to handling.
- Troubleshooting and technical support should be directed through authorized GE channels.
