The GE IS200AEPBH1BAA with the alternative part number 109W8937G002 is a battery charger sub-assembly used within a larger GE control system.
Product Overview
This module is a crucial power supply component, often found within control panels for industrial equipment. While the “IS200” prefix typically points to the Mark VIe control system, this particular module’s function is to provide a stable, uninterrupted power source by acting as a battery charger. It is not a main I/O board or controller, but rather a support module that ensures the continuous operation of critical components even during a power outage or fluctuation.
The IS200AEPBH1BAA combines a power supply and a battery charging system into one unit. This integrated design is essential for maintaining uptime and system reliability in demanding industrial environments where consistent power is non-negotiable.
Key Features and Role in the System
- Integrated Power and Charging: This module is a two-in-one unit that not only supplies power to a circuit but also manages the charging of a backup battery. This “true online” design means that the critical load is always isolated from the main utility supply, ensuring a seamless transition to battery power if needed.
- Uninterrupted Power: Its primary role is to provide uninterrupted power to critical parts of the control system. Think of it as a built-in Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for the control panel, protecting against power sags, surges, and blackouts.
- High Reliability: The module is built with a rugged industrial design to ensure reliable performance in harsh conditions. It’s often used in systems for gas turbines and other power generation equipment, where environmental factors like temperature and vibration are a constant challenge.
- System Integration: As a part of the Mark VIe ecosystem, this board is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Mark VIe components. Its power output and communication are standardized to work with GE’s specific control modules and terminal boards.
- Maintenance and Safety: This type of module is often equipped with diagnostic indicators that provide a quick visual status of its health, making it easier for technicians to troubleshoot and maintain.
