Functional Description

DS3800DOWA is a Regulator Auxiliary Board designed and developed by GE. It is part of Mark IV control system. It works alongside primary voltage regulators to ensure consistent and precise voltage output. Helps in managing fluctuations in input voltage or load variations and distributes regulated power to multiple subsystems or components within the main system.

Features

• Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection: Safeguards connected devices from damage caused by voltage spikes or drops. Includes protective circuits to disconnect or limit power during abnormal conditions.
• Signal Conditioning: Adjusts and filters feedback signals for the main regulator to enhance stability and performance. Converts analog feedback signals to digital formats for modern control systems.
• Auxiliary Monitoring and Control: Monitors key parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature. Provides diagnostic outputs or fault indications through LEDs, alarms, or communication interfaces.
• Backup Power Management: Manages switchover to backup power sources like batteries during main power failure. Includes battery charging and monitoring circuits if required.
• Voltage Regulation: Supports the regulation of voltage levels to ensure consistent power delivery and protect connected systems from fluctuations.
• Auxiliary Control: Manages auxiliary components within the turbine system, ensuring coordinated and seamless operation.
• System Integration: Facilitates communication and interaction with other components of the Mark IV control system for synchronized turbine management.
• Enhanced Performance: Ensures that voltage and auxiliary controls operate at optimal levels, directly impacting turbine efficiency.
• System Reliability: By providing precise regulation and auxiliary management, the board helps maintain system stability and reduces downtime.
• Safety: Protects turbine components and connected systems by regulating electrical parameters, minimizing the risk of damage due to irregularities.

Design and Features

• Built to withstand the demanding conditions of industrial environments, including temperature variations and electrical interference.
• Includes connectors and terminals strategically positioned for easy integration into the Mark IV system framework.
• Designed to work seamlessly with other Mark IV system components, ensuring cohesive performance across the control system.
