Product Overview
The GE DS3800HAFA1B1D is a high-performance regulator board designed for the GE Speedtronic Mark IV gas turbine control system. As a critical component of the Mark IV platform, this board serves as the interface between the turbine’s control logic and field devices, ensuring precise regulation of fuel flow, speed, and load in industrial power generation and oil & gas applications.
Engineered to handle real-time control signals, the DS3800HAFA1B1D integrates analog and digital processing capabilities to maintain stable turbine operation under varying conditions. It features a modular design with 11 jumpers and two connectors (20-pin and 34-pin) for flexible configuration, allowing users to adapt the board to specific turbine models and operational requirements. By combining advanced signal conditioning with rugged construction, the DS3800HAFA1B1D ensures reliable performance in harsh environments, including offshore platforms and high-temperature industrial settings.
Compliant with GE’s rigorous quality standards, the DS3800HAFA1B1D is backward-compatible with legacy Mark IV systems while supporting seamless integration with modern automation networks. Its role in the control loop includes monitoring sensor inputs (e.g., temperature, pressure), executing control algorithms, and providing diagnostic feedback to operators. This board is widely adopted in power plants, refineries, and marine propulsion systems, where uninterrupted turbine operation is essential for maximizing uptime and reducing maintenance costs.
