Description
Product Overview
The GE DS200SHVMG1AFE is a high – voltage M – frame interface board, designed by General Electric as a critical part of the Mark V series. This series is well – known for its applications in the control and management systems of automatic drive components for wind, steam, and gas turbines. The DS200SHVMG1AFE plays a vital role in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of GE’s Mark V turbine control systems.
When installed, the DS200SHVMG1AFE provides an interface medium. It enables communication between the M – frame driver’s SCR bridge, power board (either DCFB or SDCI), and power connection card (PCCA). This board is responsible for signal conversion and certain electrical functions. For example, it can convert shunt signals ranging from – 500mV to 500mV into differential frequency outputs within the range of 0 to 500 kHz, thanks to the voltage – controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit on the board. This conversion is crucial for accurate signal transmission and system operation in industrial turbine setups.
