GE DS200PTCTG1B Product Description
Product Overview
The GE DS200PTCTG1B is a Potential and Current Transformer (PT/CT) Signal Conditioner Board designed for GE’s Mark V series of industrial control systems, specializing in turbine control, power generation, and heavy machinery applications. This high-performance board interfaces with voltage (PT) and current (CT) signals from transformers, providing isolation, scaling, and conditioning for critical control loops in safety-critical environments like power plants, refineries, and renewable energy installations .
As part of the Speedtronic EX2000 platform, the GE DS200PTCTG1B processes three-phase PT/CT inputs to enable precise grid synchronization, overcurrent protection, and generator excitation control. Its 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion ensures accurate signal feedback for turbine speed regulation and power system stabilizer (PSS) integration, making it essential for maintaining grid stability in both conventional and renewable energy systems . The board’s modular design supports seamless integration with other Mark V modules, such as the TCCB Transducer Board, which converts isolated signals into digital counts for the control processor .
With surge protection on every channel and a rugged PCB design, the GE DS200PTCTG1B withstands extreme temperatures (0°C to +50°C) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. Its hot-swap capability minimizes downtime during maintenance, while remote diagnostics via RS232 enable predictive maintenance and reduce manual intervention .
