Product Features

Power Snubber Board Function: GE IS200RCSAG1ABB is used primarily as an RC snubber board for the 1800 or 1000 frame units in innovation series. It is able to greatly suppress the voltage spike and current surge of the circuit. By absorbing and dissipating the excess energy, it prevents other electronic components from being damaged by high-voltage and high-current pulses, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire circuit system.

Noise Isolation Capability Extreme: This board has amazing sound-proofing capability. It can resist and screen numerous types of electrical noise and interference signals in the gate drive circuits so as to prevent signal contamination, while being stable and reliable. It can avoid noise-induced signal distortion and misoperation, and it can drive the gate drive circuits to work accurately and stably.

Dual Circuit Configuration: GE IS200RCSAG1ABB supports a dual SCR and diode connection configuration with two identical snubber circuits. There are two connections which is one for the SCR and the other for the diode circuit. Each snubber circuit has different pulse widths, frequencies, and peak voltages, which can meet different application requirements, improve the flexibility and adaptability of the board.

Installation

Mounting: prepare appropriate tools such as screwdrivers and pliers, as well as necessary fastening screws and washers. Find the appropriate installation location on the device or control cabinet for the installation of GE IS200RCSAG1ABB. Place the holes on the PCB over the corresponding holes on the installation base and screw the board down. Check that the screws are inserted evenly to prevent the board from warping or loosening.

Troubleshooting

Failed snubber circuit: If GE IS200RCSAG1ABB fails snubber circuit, first check the snubber circuit capacitors, resistors and diodes, etc. Measure the (resistance, capacitance and voltage) of these components with a multimeter to determine if they are in the normal range. On detecting any damaged components, they are to be replaced on time. Also look for loose or corroded connection points of the snubber circuit. In that case, fix or replace the connection points.

Noise interference: Please check whether the shielding condition of surrounding wires and components is good when there is excessive noise or interference in the circuit with GE IS200RCSAG1ABB. There might be noise interference if the shielding layer is damaged or not well grounded. Fix or enhance the shielding and grounding techniques.

Connection Failure: Because it requires combining power supply and other components with GE IS200RCSAG1ABB inspection, it is necessary to confirm whether the connection cable is connected or whether there is damage or disconnection. Tighten or reconnect the cables or change the cabling. Examine in the board those connection terminals to see if there is oxidation or deformation. If so, clean or fix the terminals. Ensure that it connection parameters and settings with other components are also OK.

Application range

Turbine control systems: such as steam turbines and gas turbines, it provides vital support. It is used to protect the power electronic devices in the turbine control circuits from voltage and current surges, to ensure the stable operation of control system. For instance, it can safeguard the thyristor modules within the excitation control circuit of a turbine generator, thus assisting in retaining the stability of the generator's output voltage and frequency.

Industrial Automation Equipment: GE IS200RCSAG1ABB is commonly used in numerous industrial automation equipment, such as frequency converters, inverters, and motor control centers. In addition, it can also avoid the damage of overvoltage and overcurrent to the power semiconductor devices in these equipment, so as to enhance the reliability and service life of the equipment. It can effectively suppress voltage and current fluctuation in the process of motor speed regulation and control, so as to make the motor run more smoothly.

Power Distribution Systems: it can be used to protect the electrical equipment, such as circuit breakers, contactors, and other electrical equipment in power distribution systems, especially in some high-power and high-voltage distribution occasions. This can prevention transient overvoltage and inrush current when the power distribution equipment is turned on and off, reduce the electrical stress of the equipment, ensure the safety and stability of the power distribution system.
