GE IS200DSFCG1ADB Feedback Driver/Shunt Card

الوصف

The GE IS200DSFCG1ADB Feedback Driver/Shunt Card is a specialized Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designed for use in GE’s Mark VI Speedtronic Turbine Control System and the associated Innovation Series AC Drives (Variable Frequency Drives).¹

It is a high-speed, isolated interface component critical for the control and protection of the drive’s power section.

⚡️ Core Functions (Driver/Shunt Feedback)

The DSFC board serves two primary functions essential for managing high-power AC motors:

1. IGBT Gate Driver (Driver):
   • It provides the isolated power and signals necessary to control the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) in one phase-leg of the drive’s power bridge.²
   • It takes the low-voltage control signals (Pulse Width Modulation or PWM) and converts them into the high-power, isolated signals required to rapidly switch the IGBTs ON and OFF, which is how the drive controls motor speed and torque.
2. Current Sensor/Shunt Feedback (Shunt Feedback):
   • It contains a shunt resistor and measurement circuitry to accurately sense the phase current flowing through the power module.³
   • This current feedback is critical for the control system to precisely regulate the motor’s operation and, most importantly, provide immediate fault detection and protection for the expensive power components.⁴

🛡️ Protection and System Details

• Application: It is used with 1000 Amp and 1800 Amp Innovation Series PWM AC Drive bridges.⁵
  • A 1000A drive requires three (3) DSFC boards (one per phase).⁶
  • An 1800A drive requires six (6) DSFC boards (two daisy-chained per phase).⁷
• Mounting: It is designed to mount directly onto the upper and lower IGBT modules within the drive’s power stack to minimize connection length, which reduces noise and stray inductance.⁸
• Protection: The board features built-in circuitry to detect and respond to critical power faults, including:
  • Desaturation Faults: Failure of the IGBT to turn fully ON.⁹
  • Under-voltage Faults: Loss of voltage to the gate drive circuitry.¹⁰
  • Overcurrent (IOC) Faults: When the measured current exceeds safe limits.
• Isolation: The board utilizes galvanic and optical isolation to protect the sensitive low-voltage control electronics from the high-voltage/high-current power section.¹¹
