Product Description

The GE Common DC Bus Regenerative Board DS200GSIAG1A contains three 40-pin connectors, two 16-pin connectors, and 6 jumpers. The board also has 1 8-pin connector, and multiple test points. The 40-pin connectors enable the board to transmit signals to other boards and also receive signals for processing. The connections are made through ribbon cables. Use care when you disconnect the cables because they are prone to having the connection between the connector and the fine wires of the ribbon cable broken. Hold the connector portion of the ribbon cable when you unplug the cable from the board.

The test points featured on the board are useful for checking the performance of the board if a problem is suspected. The test points can be tested using various testing devices that gauge the signal quality or other factors in the circuit. Make sure the tester is calibrated for the procedure and that the probes are supported for use with the device. A qualified servicer will have the equipment and knowledge required to perform the testing. Also, the qualified tester will know the guidelines and procedures required to work safely around the drive and components.

One guideline is to inspect the area around the drive before starting any work. Any moisture on the floor must be cleaned up and the floor must be dry and clean of oil grease, and other contaminants. If any ungrounded electric cords are present, they must be removed from the area also.
