Functional Description
DS200GSNAG1A is a GTO Snubber Board developed by GE. It is a part of GE Drive Control system. It is a snubber card designed to provide snubbing functionality in a specific system or application.
- Snubbing Function: The primary function of the card is to perform snubbing operations. Snubbing is a technique used to suppress voltage spikes or transients that can occur in electrical circuits, particularly when switching high-power loads. By employing snubber components and circuitry, the card helps protect sensitive components or devices from potentially damaging voltage spikes or transients.
- Mounting Options: The board is designed with two mounting locations, allowing for flexibility in installation. The drilled holes on the board enable secure and convenient mounting in the chosen locations within the system or equipment.
- Markings and Identifications: The board is marked with various codes and identifications. These markings typically include codes like "6BA0C," which may serve as a unique identifier or part number for the specific variant or revision of the board. Additionally, the board number and the GE logo may be present, providing further identification and association with the manufacturer.
- Component Population: The card is populated with specific components that contribute to its functionality. These components include:
- Axial Capacitor: A single axial capacitor is mounted on the board. Capacitors are passive electronic components that store and release electrical energy. The axial configuration indicates the orientation of the capacitor leads.
- Axial Wire Wound Resistor: An axial wire wound resistor is mounted on the board with the support of two nylon standoffs. Wire wound resistors are designed to handle high power and dissipate heat effectively. The axial configuration indicates the orientation of the resistor leads.
- Stab-On Connectors (P1 and P2): The board features two stab-on connectors, namely P1 and P2. These connectors provide a secure and reliable means of connecting external wires or cables to the snubber card.
- The combination of the axial capacitor, axial wire wound resistor, and stab-on connectors enables the snubber card to effectively perform its snubbing function. By suppressing voltage spikes and transients, the card helps safeguard the system or equipment from potential damage and ensures stable and reliable operation.
Features
- A GTO snubber board may offer various features depending on the specific application and requirements. Here are some common features that can be found in GTO snubber boards:
- Snubber Component Selection: The snubber board includes carefully selected resistors, capacitors, and diodes to match the specific requirements of the GTO device and the application. The values of these components are chosen to optimize snubber performance.
- Voltage and Current Ratings: The snubber board is designed to handle the voltage and current levels associated with the GTO device and the application. It should have appropriate voltage and current ratings to ensure reliable and safe operation.
- Fast Response Time: The snubber board should have a fast response time to quickly suppress voltage and current transients generated during GTO switching. This helps protect the GTO device from stress and potential damage.
- Protection Circuitry: GTO snubber boards may include protection circuitry to safeguard the GTO device and the snubber itself from overvoltage, overcurrent, and other fault conditions. This protection circuitry can help prevent damage to the GTO device and ensure system reliability.
