الوصف
The GE part number IC3600SSVC1 is a 50V Regulator Card. This electronic circuit board is a component of GE’s legacy Speedtronic Mark I and Mark II series turbine control systems. Its primary function is to provide a stable, regulated 50-volt DC power supply to other boards and components within the control panel.
Function and Key Features
A voltage regulator’s job is to maintain a constant output voltage, regardless of fluctuations in the input voltage or changes in the electrical load. The IC3600SSVC1 is essential for ensuring that sensitive electronic components receive a clean and consistent power supply, which is critical for their reliable operation.
- Voltage Regulation: The card receives a DC input voltage (which may fluctuate) and provides a highly stable 50V DC output. This is particularly important for analog signals, which rely on a stable reference voltage for accuracy.
- Protection: By regulating the voltage, the card protects downstream components from damage that could be caused by voltage spikes or sags in the power supply.
- System Integrity: The stability provided by the regulator card contributes to the overall reliability and accuracy of the entire control system.
- Legacy Systems: The 50V DC power supply is a characteristic of the older Mark I and II systems, which used different voltage levels for analog and digital signals compared to modern systems.
Applications
The IC3600SSVC1 is primarily used in power generation facilities that still operate GE’s older Mark I and Mark II turbine control systems. It is a fundamental part of the system’s power supply infrastructure, ensuring that other critical cards, such as those for over-temperature protection, speed control, or nozzle control, receive the stable voltage they need to function correctly.
