Country of Manufacture: United States of America (USA)
Product Type: Over Speed Sensor Card
Availability: In Stock
Series: VersaMax

Functional Description

IC3600QOXA1 is an Over Speed Sensor Card. It is a part of Mark I and II control series. Overspeed events are critical risks in turbine operations, potentially leading to mechanical failure or catastrophic breakdowns. The card’s ability to detect overspeed conditions quickly is essential for avoiding these risks and ensuring the long-term reliability of the turbine.

Features

• It monitors turbine speed and triggers protective actions if it detects the turbine operating above its designated speed threshold. This protection is essential in preventing potential turbine damage or failure due to excessive speed.
• This card is specifically designed to be compatible with GE's Mark I and Mark II control systems, which are some of the earliest control systems developed for turbine management. It functions seamlessly within these systems to enhance operational stability.
• Uses precise circuitry to monitor and detect changes in turbine speed. It compares the actual speed to pre-set thresholds and can initiate a shutdown sequence if it detects that the turbine has exceeded safe operational limits.
• It works in conjunction with other monitoring and control cards to provide a comprehensive turbine management solution. Its role in overspeed detection is complemented by cards handling various aspects of turbine operation, ensuring a balanced and safe control system.
