GE DS3800NGTF/RR GTO Driver PWB

 


 

Brief Product Description

 

The GE DS3800NGTF/RR is an industrial GTO Driver Printed Wiring Board (PWB) designed to work with high-power industrial control systems. Its primary function is to generate and provide the precise, high-current pulses required to turn on and off GTOs (Gate Turn-Off Thyristors), which are large power semiconductors used in high-voltage applications like motor drives and inverters.

Key Specifications:

  • Type: GTO Driver PWB (Printed Wiring Board)
  • Compatibility: GE industrial control systems (specific GTO-based drives)
  • Function: Provides gate drive signals for GTOs
  • Application: High-power motor control, rectifiers, and converters

 

Detailed Product Overview

 

In high-power industrial systems, the main control board handles the logic, but a specialized component is needed to interface with the massive power switching devices. The GE DS3800NGTF/RR GTO Driver PWB is that critical component. It takes a low-power signal from the control system and transforms it into a powerful, clean pulse to fire the gate of a GTO. Unlike SCRs, GTOs can be turned off by a reverse gate pulse, and this board is specifically designed to provide both the turn-on and turn-off signals with the precise timing required for efficient and safe operation.

The “RR” in the part number indicates that the unit is a remanufactured part. This is a common and cost-effective practice for maintaining legacy industrial systems. By using a remanufactured module, companies can replace a faulty board with a tested and reliable unit at a lower cost than a new one, which helps to extend the life of their existing equipment. The board’s robust design allows it to operate reliably in the harsh conditions of a factory floor, including electrical noise and temperature fluctuations.
