GE DS2020BRCAG3 Brake Control Assembly

Part Number DS2020BRCAG3 Manufacturer General Electric Country of Manufacture As Per GE Manufacturing Policy Series Mark VI/VIe Function Module Availability In StockDS2020BRCAG3 is a Brake Control component under the Mark VI series. The DS2020BRCAG3 is one of the numerous modules for Speedtronic Mark V turbine management and monitoring systems. It's made of a printed circuit board from the DS200 series, which includes circuitry for processing applications for turbine power generation as well as keeping those systems stable and monitored. The alphanumeric label on the side of the circuit board's frame makes it easy to identify. This unit is easily recognizable by the alphanumeric label on the circuit board's frame and is capable of controlling the turbine systems' speed and braking capabilities. This allows the Speedtronic Mark V module in which is put to stop and slow the power generation capabilities.

ABOUT THE DS2020BRCAG3

The DS2020BRCAG3 model is part of the Mark V Series produced by General Electric. This module is described as a 15 Amps Brake Control. When the module is being used within the Mark V Series the unit can hypothetically be used with either triple modular redundant (TMR) or simplex redundant applications. When used in simplex or TMR applications the control also has the ability to be used with steam or gas turbine prime mover applications. Another feature of this control, when used in this series, is that it has the potential to be maintenenced online, online maintenance indicates that the controller does not have to be turned off or powered down.This control is considered obsolete because it is no longer being actively produced by General Electric. Information is not readily available on this control but the information found in the GEI-100460 Product Description Guide can be used when operating the DS2020BRCAG3 control. 

Hardware TIps and Specifications

This DS2020BRCAG3 printed circuit board from General Electric is a Brake Control product with not a whole lot of original Mark V Series instructional manual materials that describe it in great detail available on the internet. This is likely a function of this DS2020BRCAG3 15 Amps Brake Control's status as an obsolete Mark V Series product. While this is unfortunately true, it is still possible to curate a product-specific hardware page for this DS2020BRCAG3 PCB thanks to the functionality of the DS2020BRCAG3 product number itself.
