Functional Description
DS3820EVCC is a Power Supply Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark IV control system. This board is designed to provide regulated power to various components within the control system, ensuring the proper functioning of turbines and their associated systems.
Features
- The external metal housing is built with industrial-grade materials to ensure durability and protection from environmental factors. This housing is designed to fit into a bay-type enclosure and is supported on metal feet for stability. The unit's housing provides essential electromagnetic shielding, safeguarding the internal components from external noise or interference that could impact the control system’s performance. At the front bottom panel of the unit, users will find several wired connections for easy interfacing with the rest of the turbine control system.
- Above the connection panel, the unit includes two Current Isolator Modules. These modules are mounted side-by-side within a dedicated sub-panel. The primary role of the Current Isolator Modules is to prevent potential ground loops and current surges that could damage sensitive control system components. By isolating incoming signals, these modules ensure that the control system operates smoothly and without interruption, even in the face of power fluctuations. The inclusion of these isolators adds layer of protection.
- Features an additional sub-panel positioned above the Current Isolator Modules. This sub-panel houses auxiliary circuit boards responsible for secondary functions such as power regulation and signal conversion. The presence of these boards ensures that the power supply system can meet the specific voltage and current requirements of various control modules. The sub-panel is easily accessible, allowing for quick maintenance and troubleshooting of the components if necessary. To protect the internal components, a see-through panel is mounted in place, offering visibility into the inner workings of the unit. This transparent panel allows for convenient monitoring of the health of the internal boards without having to open the entire housing, saving time and reducing maintenance effort.
- It is responsible for converting and regulating AC or DC power inputs, ensuring that all connected components receive the correct voltage levels for their operation. The power supply board filters out any noise or voltage spikes that could interfere with the performance of sensitive control equipment, maintaining stable system operations even in high-demand environments.
- Provides electrical isolation through the current isolator modules, ensuring that any faults or power fluctuations in one part of the system do not propagate to the rest of the control system. This feature is critical for maintaining the safety and reliability of the turbine control system, especially in environments where power surges or ground loops are frequent.
- The sub-panels and auxiliary boards are designed for easy access, enabling quick identification of faults and the ability to replace or repair components without extensive downtime. The see-through panel further enhances the ease of maintenance by allowing technicians to inspect the internal components visually. Additionally, the presence of status LEDs or other diagnostic indicators on the unit's front panel helps technicians monitor the health of the power supply board in real-time, making troubleshooting more efficient.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is DS3820EVCC?
It is a high-voltage card developed by General Electrics.
How does the RST system ensure fault tolerance?
The RST sections are designed to work autonomously, so a failure in one section does not affect the others. This independence, combined with six separate communication lines to the communicator section, minimizes the risk of a single-point failure causing system-wide issues.
What is the role of the C section in the Mark IV control system?
The C section, or Communicator, is responsible for managing communication between the R, S, and T sections. It also serves as the interface for the operator, allowing interaction through membrane switches and CRT displays. In remote control scenarios, the C section communicates with remote computers.
