GE ds3800npct Field Power Circuit Card 

Part Number ds3800npct Manufacturer General Electric Country of Manufacture As Per GE Manufacturing Policy Series Mark VI/VIe Function Module Availability In StockDS3800NPCT is a Field Exciter Power Supply Module developed by GE under Mark IV system. A Field Exciter Power Supply Module is a device used in electrical power systems to provide power to the field exciter of a generator. Its primary function is to provide power to the exciter field winding in a precise and controlled manner, ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the entire system. 

 Features Field Exciter Power Supply Module: Designed specifically as a Field Exciter Power Supply Module, emphasizing its crucial role in delivering power to the exciter field winding. This function is essential for maintaining the desired magnetic field in the generator and, consequently, ensuring the proper functioning of the entire power generation system. Drill Holes for Mounting: Equipped with two lines of drill holes, extending from its top to bottom edge. These drill holes serve as mounting points, allowing secure attachment of the board within the system. Proper mounting ensures stability and reliability during operation. Limited Components: Features a focused selection of components, reflecting its specialized purpose. Along with the power supply circuitry, it includes jumper switches, jumper wires, and a few instances of surface wiring from one board point to another. 

This streamlined design aims to optimize the board for its specific function. Labeled Components: Each component on the board is individually labeled. This clear labeling makes identification and troubleshooting more accessible for technicians and engineers. By providing comprehensive markings, the board allows for efficient maintenance, minimizing downtime in case of issues. Jumper Switches and Jumper Wires: The inclusion of jumper switches and jumper wires offers configurability and flexibility in power supply settings. Jumper switches can be set in different positions to customize the power supply output, adapting the board to varying operational requirements. Jumper wires facilitate specific connections between different board points, enabling tailored configurations. Surface Wiring for Board Points: In addition to jumper wires, it incorporates surface wiring from one board point to another. These surface wirings establish precise connections to ensure accurate power distribution and voltage regulation. 

This attention to detail contributes to the board's reliable performance. Robustness and Reliability: By focusing on essential components and secure connections, the board can withstand the demanding conditions of power generation environments, ensuring stable operation over extended periods. Integration into the Mark IV System: As part of the Mark IV system, it is engineered to seamlessly integrate with other components and control modules within the system. This compatibility simplifies system configuration and enhances overall performance and coordination. High-Quality Power Supply: With its specialized role as a Field Exciter Power Supply Module, the product ensures a high-quality power supply to the exciter field winding. 

This contributes to the efficient generation of electricity and supports smooth power transmission within the grid. Product Attributes Input Voltage Range: Typically has a wide input voltage range to accommodate different power system configurations and voltage levels. Output Voltage: Typically adjustable to allow for precise control of the magnetic field generated by the field exciter. Output Current: The output current is high to provide sufficient power to the field exciter. Protection Features: The power supply module may include protection features such as overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit protection to prevent damage to the module and the power system. Efficiency: The efficiency is an important consideration, as a higher efficiency means less power is wasted as heat and more power are available for the field exciter.

OTHER INFORMATION

The DS3800NPCT is a Mark IV board component manufactured for use within GE’s Speedtronic gas/steam turbine management system.   The Mark IV was the first of the Speedtronic line to offer triple modular redundant control with fault-tolerant voting.  MKIV products can be purchased from AX Control as fully tested, reconditioned units, or unused products from liquidated surplus stock. 

The DS3800NPCT functions as a Field Power board.  Unlike most boards within the Mark IV system, this is not a rectangular board.  The DS3800NPCT is a small board shaped like a lower-case b.  The base portion of the board has two lines of drill holes made from its top to bottom edge.  These run parallel to each other, are individually labeled and are typically ringed with a conductive material.  In all, there are fifteen holes within the board’s surface.  The leading edge of the board has two slots cut into it as well, one straight and one slanting.    Board components are limited to jumper switches, jumper wires, and a few instances of surface wiring from board point to board point.  These are also individually labeled.   The board carries several codes, including 6BA02.   For more information, please refer to technical support products originally provided to end users by GE.
