GE DS3815LFAA Generrex, Line Filter Card

As a line filter card, the DS3815LFAA is a foundational component within the Generrex system and works in conjunction with other cards to ensure stable power delivery and control. It’s connected to:

  • Power Supply: It is typically placed between the main AC power source and the Generrex’s internal power supply to filter incoming noise.
  • Control Cards: By providing a clean power signal, the filter card protects sensitive control cards that manage the generator’s field excitation.
  • Diode and Gate Driver Cards: It ensures that the power to these cards is clean, preventing noise from interfering with their operation and potentially causing a system malfunction.

The GE DS3815LFAA is a Line Filter Card for the Generrex Excitation System, not the GE Speedtronic Mark IV. Its primary function is to suppress electrical noise and interference that can disrupt the system’s operation.


 

Function and Purpose

 

A line filter card acts as a passive low-pass filter ⚙️. It’s composed of passive components like inductors, capacitors, and resistors. Its main job is to allow low-frequency power currents (like 50/60 Hz) to pass through to the Generrex system while blocking or attenuating unwanted high-frequency noise. This noise, often called electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI), can be generated by other equipment in the power plant, such as switching power supplies, or can be a byproduct of the Generrex system’s own operation.

By filtering out this noise, the DS3815LFAA ensures that the Generrex system’s sensitive control electronics receive a clean, stable power supply. This is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the excitation system, which in turn ensures the generator’s voltage and power output remain stable.
