GE DS200TCTEG1ABA TC2000 Trip Module

Product Description:

The GE DS200TCTEG1ABA is a TC2000 Trip Board designed for the Mark V Turbine Control System—GE’s sought-after series that leverages patented Speedtronic technology. As an upgraded variant of the parent DS200TCTEG1 board, it incorporates three key revisions (A-rated primary functional, B-rated secondary functional, A-rated artwork) that enhance its performance and compatibility within Mark V systems. Serving as a critical safety component for turbine control, it integrates hardware tailored to trip-related functionalities, making it indispensable for maintaining operational safety in industrial turbine setups.

Key Features:
Specialized Hardware Configuration:It is populated with hardware critical for trip functionality: 20 plug-in relays, 3 50-pin connectors (JLY, JLX, JLZ), and 2 12-pin connectors (JN, JM) for seamless interfacing with other Mark V components. It also includes voltage-limiting parts --capacitors, transistors, resistors, integrated circuits that stabilize operation, ensuring consistent trip signal transmission.

Critical Thermal Management Requirements:Due to heat-emitting relays, strict cooling measures are mandatory: cool air must flow in through bottom vents, pass over components, and exit via top vents. Users must verify surrounding equipment/ walls do not overheat the drive, ensure cables (especially large ribbons) do not block airflow, and use functional fans if needed. Poor cooling risks component failure, underscoring its thermal sensitivity.

Informative Product Numbering:The DS200TCTEG1ABA part number encodes key hardware details: DS200 series tag, “TCTE” functional abbreviation, standard PCB coating, Group One classification, and the three specific revisions. This serves as a reliable reference for specifications when manual data is limited.

Safety-Centric Role in Turbine Control:As a TC2000 Trip Board, it plays a pivotal role in turbine safety by managing trip-related signals. Its hardware--relays, connectors and revisions are optimized to ensure timely, accurate trip responses—protecting turbines from unsafe operating conditions, which aligns with the Mark V system’s focus on industrial safety and reliability.
