The GE part number IS200EGPAG1A is a Gate Pulse Amplifier Card for the EX2100 Excitation Control System. Its primary function is to receive low-level gate signals from the main control board and amplify them to a powerful level sufficient to fire the SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) in the exciter’s rectifier bridge. ⚡
Function and Key Features
A thyristor bridge is a power electronic circuit that converts AC to DC power to supply the generator’s field. The GPAA board is the last stage of control before the power devices.
- Gate Pulse Amplification: The main controller (like a DSPX) generates a precise, low-energy timing signal. The GPAA board takes this signal and boosts its voltage and current to a level required to “turn on” the high-power SCRs. Without this board, the weak signal from the controller would not be able to fire the SCRs.
- Electrical Isolation: The board provides critical electrical isolation between the high-power exciter circuits and the sensitive, low-voltage control electronics. This protects the control system from damaging voltage spikes and electrical noise.
- System Integration: The GPAA card is a crucial part of the control chain. It receives its commands from the main control board and provides the final output to the exciter bridge.
- Robust Design: Like all GE industrial control components, it is built to withstand the harsh conditions of a power plant.
Applications
The IS200EGPAG1A is a legacy component primarily found in power generation facilities. It is an essential component for:
- Excitation Control: It is the final link in the control chain that directly regulates the generator’s voltage and reactive power by controlling the firing of the thyristors in the exciter bridge.
- Power Regulation: By precisely controlling the power flow to the generator’s field, it ensures the generator’s output is stable and reliable, which is crucial for maintaining the stability of the electrical grid.
