Description
Product Overview
The GE IS200EXHSG1AEC is an Exciter High-Speed Relay Driver Board designed for GE’s EX2100 Excitation Control System, widely used in power generation, oil & gas, and heavy industrial environments. It serves as a critical component for driving DC contactors and pilot relays, enabling precise control of generator field current and supporting high-speed switching operations in turbine management systems 316.
Featuring dual-channel isolated inputs and solid-state relay drivers, the IS200EXHSG1AEC supports 125V DC power supply and interfaces with the EX2100’s EMIO (Exciter Master Input/Output) boards via DB9 connectors (J504, J509). Its robust design includes conformal coating to mitigate EMI/RFI interference and protect against dust and moisture, ensuring reliable performance in harsh industrial environments 23.
With compatibility with GE’s ToolboxST software, the IS200EXHSG1AEC enables remote configuration of relay timing parameters and diagnostic thresholds. Its -30°C to +65°C operating temperature range and IP54 ingress protection make it suitable for offshore platforms, high-vibration power plants, and other extreme conditions .
