DS3800DPSS1B - Regulator Board

SPECIFICATIONS

Part No.: DS3800DPSS1B
Manufacturer: General Electric
Country of Manufacture: United States(USA)
Product Type: Regulator Board
Series: Mark IV

Functional Description

DS3800DPSS1B is a Regulator Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark IV control system. The primary function of a regulator board is to maintain a consistent voltage output, regardless of variations in the input voltage or changes in the electrical load. In turbine control systems, such as GE’s Mark IV control system, regulator boards play a critical role in ensuring stable power distribution to various control modules and subsystems. This stability helps prevent performance issues, malfunctions, or potential damage caused by voltage irregularities.

Components

• Connectors: It features a 34-pin connector, serving as the primary interface for communication and data exchange between the board and other system modules. This ensures seamless integration and functionality within the Mark IV control system.
• Terminals and Capacitors: For secure wiring connections, the board includes seven terminals, each fitted with retention screws to ensure a stable and firm connection. Additionally, it has multiple capacitors, which help in energy storage and filtering, stabilizing voltage levels, and reducing electrical noise for improved performance.
• Jumper Configuration: Single jumper, which is labeled for easy identification. The jumper is used to configure the board by covering two out of three available pins. It can be placed over pins 1 and 2 or pins 2 and 3, forming an electrical connection between them. The board detects this connection and processes the resulting signal to adjust its configuration accordingly, allowing flexibility in operation.
• Voltage Regulators: These components control the output voltage, ensuring that it remains within the desired range. They can be linear regulators, which dissipate excess power as heat, or switching regulators, which are more efficient and conserve energy.
• Fuses: Equipped with six fuses protect against electrical faults, preventing damage to sensitive components. Protect the board and connected components from overcurrent or short circuits by breaking the circuit if excessive current flows through.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DS3800DPSS1B?
It is a Regulator Board developed by GE under the Mark IV series.

What is the purpose of a Regulator Board?
The main purpose of a regulator board is to control and stabilize voltage, protect electrical circuits from power surges, and ensure reliable performance of connected components in industrial and automation systems.

How does a Regulator Board work?
A regulator board works by taking an unstable input voltage and converting it into a steady output voltage. It does this using voltage regulators, capacitors, and diodes, which help smooth out fluctuations and ensure a continuous power supply.
