GE IC3600SVDE1A VIBR ALARM BD

الوصف

The GE part number IC3600SVDE1A is a Vibration Alarm Board. 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 monitor vibration levels and trigger an alarm if those levels exceed a predetermined safe limit.

Function and Key Features

In large rotating machinery like turbines, vibration is a key indicator of mechanical health. High levels of vibration can signal issues such as bearing wear, shaft misalignment, or rotor imbalance. The IC3600SVDE1A is a crucial safety component that works to prevent catastrophic failures.

• Vibration Monitoring: The card receives analog signals from vibration sensors (e.g., proximity probes or accelerometers) mounted on the turbine.
• Alarm Logic: The card contains internal circuitry designed to compare the measured vibration signal against a pre-set alarm threshold. When the vibration level surpasses this limit, the card’s logic activates.
• Alarm Trigger: Upon detecting an over-vibration condition, the card triggers an audible or visual alarm in the control room. This alerts operators to a potential problem, allowing them to take corrective action before a more serious condition occurs.
• System Integration: It’s an integral part of the turbine’s overall protection system. The card’s output can also be fed to other control systems to initiate a controlled shutdown if the vibration continues to increase and exceeds a higher “trip” level.
• Robust Design: Like all GE industrial control boards, it’s built to withstand the harsh conditions of a power plant, including vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and electromagnetic interference.

Applications

The IC3600SVDE1A is a legacy component primarily used in power generation facilities that still operate GE’s older Mark I and Mark II turbine control systems. It is an essential component for:

• Predictive Maintenance: By providing a timely alarm, the card enables engineers to schedule maintenance and address mechanical issues before they lead to catastrophic failure.
• Safety Systems: It is a key part of the safety system, providing a crucial layer of protection against damaging vibration levels.
