GE DS200FCSAG1ACB Current Feedback Board for Industrial-Grade Reliability in Mark V Turbine Control

GE DS200FCSAG1ACB Current Feedback Board for Mark V Turbine Control

Product Description:

The GE DS200FCSAG1ACB is a specialized Current Sensing Interface Card designed for GE’s Mark V Turbine Control System—including both TMR and Simplex variants. As part of the Mark V series, it leverages GE’s patented Speedtronic control technology, one of the final GE Mark product lines to do so. 

Its core role is to accurately measure electric current and establish a current path between Mark V PCBs, while also monitoring current feedback in drive systems to ensure precise control, enhance operational efficiency, and maintain system performance. Physically, it is a small board with edge markings and surface notches for easy installation alignment; four corner drill holes; and identifying codes plus its product number for quick recognition. Hardware components are minimal but targeted: two each of pin header connectors, polyvinyl capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, and Mate-N-Lok connectors; 16 diodes; four surface wires acting as resistors; and a Mark V-standard thick PCB coating that prioritizes protection for critical hardware components. It also includes Mark V-series standardized voltage-limiting hardware.

Key Features:
Dual-Role Current Management: Serves as both a current sensing interface and current feedback monitor—ensuring precise drive system control and optimizing overall operational efficiency.

Targeted Hardware Design: Minimal but high-impact components and a thick, priority-based PCB coating deliver durability and reliable current handling.

Installation-Friendly Design: Edge markings, surface notches, and coded drill holes simplify alignment and mounting, reducing installation time and potential errors.

Industrial-Grade Reliability: Built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent performance in turbine drive environments.

Compliant Cabling Protocols: Strict cabling guidelines (OSHA compliance, temperature protection, contamination prevention) safeguard against cable-related failures and ensure long-term system safety.
