About the DS200DACAG1A

The DS200DACAG1A is a Mark V, TC2000, DC2000 AC to DC Converter Board manufactured by GE (General Electric) as part of their turbine control systems. The DS200DACAG1A is designed as a component for the GE EX2100 Excitation Control Module. This module provides field excitation current for generators (gas/steam/hydro) as a way to control their AC terminal voltage and reactive volt-amperes. The EX2100 DS200DACAG1A TC2000 AC/DC Converter Board's modular design makes it easy to create a system that works for the user, whether they need to draw from a compound, potential, or auxiliary source, or need simplex or redundant controls. The DS200DACAG1A board is no longer manufactured by GE but can be purchased through AX Control as a refurbished/reconditioned unit or as a liquidated never-used part. 

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The DS200DACAG1A is used primarily as an AC/DC converter.  It is powered by a 115 V AC source that is then converted by the circuit board’s components to produce a 125 V DC output.  The board and its corresponding battery source can also provide a redundant VDC supply for the EPDM power board.  If redundancy is needed, two DACA boards can be hooked up to one EPDM. Unfortunately for our purposes, the previous information concerning this DS200DACAG1A TC200 AC/DC Converter product is the sole information derivable from original Mark V, EX2000, or TC2000 Series instructional manuals detailing the product. With this in mind, most of the following product-specific information will be reminiscent of a visual inspection of the product, paired with a breakdown of the functional DS200DACAG1A General Electric product number. 

The DS200DACAG1A product number assigned to this Mark V Series PCB from General Electric begins with the dually-functional DS200 series tag. This series tag is important as it outlines the DS200DACAG1A TC2000 AC/DC Converter Board's status as a normal assembly printed circuit board that has been manufactured domestically in General Electric's Salem, Virginia factory location. This is followed in the DS200DACAG1A product number by an instance of the DACA functional abbreviation that represents the lengthy DS200DACAG1A product number. This itself is followed too in the DS200DACAG1A number, by the additional dual-functional G1 series grouping tag. This Mark V series grouping tag informs the DS200DACAG1A PCB owner of this device's normal style of PCB protective coating, as well as its allegiance to the first group of Mark V Series products. The final alphanumeric digit in the DS200DACAG1A functional product number informs of this printed circuit board's singular, A-rated functional product revision.
