GE DS3800DXRA Generator Regulator Board

GE DS3800DXRA Generator Regulator Board

Part Number DS3800DXRA Manufacturer General Electric Country of Manufacture As Per GE Manufacturing Policy Series Mark VI/VIe Function Module Availability In StockDS3800DXRA is a Generator Regulator Board designed and developed by GE. It is a part of Mark IV control system. The GE Generator Regulator Board designed to facilitate the regulation and control of generator systems. Equipped with a set of unique features and safety mechanisms, this board ensures the reliable and efficient operation of generators, and it offers a means for operators to monitor and troubleshoot potential issues. 

 Features Equipped with a 20-pin connector, which serves as a communication link between the board and other interconnected devices within the control system. Multiple jumpers are provided on the board, enabling the creation or modification of electrical connections. These jumpers offer flexibility and customization of the control setup to meet specific operational requirements. Five indicator LEDs are incorporated to visually signal activity within different circuits on the board. These LEDs serve as a quick and efficient means for operators to monitor the condition of the board. 

The presence of a toggle switch allows for the reset of the board if an issue is suspected. This switch initiates a restart of the processing, which can help resolve problems stemming from signal interference or other issues. LED Functionality Condition Monitoring: The LEDs are designed to provide real-time feedback on the board's condition. When they are flashing or staying lit for a short period, this indicates that the board is in good working condition. Issue Identification: If the LEDs fail to light or behave abnormally, it serves as an indication that the board is experiencing a problem. 

This feature is invaluable for early issue detection and preventive maintenance. Troubleshooting and Restart Qualified Operator Requirement: Troubleshooting and restarting the board should only be performed by qualified operators or servicers. This is essential for ensuring safety during the process. Reset Process: The reset toggle switch does not remove current from the board but instead forces it to restart processing. In cases where signals have been interfered with by high-voltage electricity, the restart process allows the signals to reset, often resolving issues. Safety Concerns: It's crucial to highlight the potential hazards involved in using the reset switch. Operators or servicers may be exposed to high-voltage current when reaching into the board, which can lead to electric shock or burn. Therefore, extreme caution must be exercised when engaging the reset switch.
