IS200TPROH1BBB
Main Features and Advantages
Reliable Signal Termination
The GE IS200TPROH1BBB is designed with two large solid – black terminal blocks on its left edge. Each terminal block houses 48 silver – metallic terminals, clearly labeled from 1 to 48. This layout ensures that external wiring can be securely connected, providing a stable termination point for signals entering and exiting the board. The clear labeling simplifies installation and maintenance processes, allowing technicians to quickly identify and manage connections, thus minimizing the risk of incorrect wiring and associated system malfunctions.
Protection Against Electrical Transients
Equipped with solid – red metal oxide varistors (MOVs) placed adjacent to each relay, the board offers robust protection against voltage spikes and surges. In the high – voltage and high – stress environment of industrial turbines, electrical transients are common. The MOVs act as a shield, diverting excess voltage away from sensitive components like relays and other circuitry. This protection mechanism significantly enhances the board’s durability and reliability, ensuring that the turbine control system can withstand electrical fluctuations without performance degradation or component damage.
Adjustable Electrical Parameters
Near the upper – right corner of the IS200TPROH1BBB, three black variable resistors (potentiometers) are grouped vertically. These potentiometers are marked with the letter “r” and enable fine – tuning of electrical parameters within the circuit. This adjustability feature is invaluable in applications where precise control over the board’s performance is required. For example, it can be used to optimize the signal strength or adjust the sensitivity of certain components, ensuring that the turbine control system operates at its peak efficiency under various operating conditions.

Application Field
Power Generation
In power plants, whether they are gas – fired or steam – powered, the GE IS200TPROH1BBB is an essential component. In gas – turbine – based power generation, it helps in the accurate control of fuel injection and combustion processes. By securely terminating signals related to sensors that monitor gas flow, temperature, and pressure, it enables the control system to adjust these parameters in real – time. In steam – turbine power plants, the board plays a crucial role in regulating the steam flow to the turbine. Signals from sensors measuring steam pressure, temperature, and turbine speed are terminated on the IS200TPROH1BBB, allowing the control system to maintain optimal turbine speed and power output, ensuring stable and efficient power generation.
Industrial Manufacturing
Industries that rely on large – scale mechanical drive systems often use industrial turbines. For instance, in a paper mill, turbines are used to power large rollers and other machinery. The IS200TPROH1BBB ensures that the control signals for these turbines are accurately transmitted and terminated. It helps in maintaining the proper speed and torque of the turbines, which is essential for the smooth operation of the manufacturing process. In a steel plant, where turbines are used for various purposes such as powering blast furnaces and rolling mills, the board safeguards the integrity of the control system, preventing any disruptions that could lead to production delays or quality issues.
Oil and Gas
In the oil and gas industry, turbines are used in a variety of applications, from powering compressors in gas pipelines to driving pumps in oil refineries. The GE IS200TPROH1BBB is used to protect and manage the electrical connections in these turbine – driven systems. In gas pipelines, it ensures that the control signals for compressors, which regulate gas flow and pressure, are stable. In oil refineries, for turbines that power pumps handling crude oil or refined products, the board helps in maintaining the reliability of the control system. By protecting against electrical transients and providing reliable signal termination, it contributes to the safe and efficient operation of the entire oil and gas production and transportation infrastructure.
