ALSTOM N897164624A

Description

Product Description

The ALSTOM N897164624A is a specific Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly or electronic module manufactured as a spare part for legacy Alstom (now part of Hitachi Energy) industrial control and power systems equipment. This part number follows the established Alstom component numbering system and represents a critical functional card designed to be installed within a larger host device, such as a protection relay, turbine controller, or excitation system. The ALSTOM N897164624A is engineered to perform a discrete task—which could range from signal processing and I/O interfacing to power supply regulation or communication management—within its parent unit. As a genuine manufacturer’s component, it ensures the continued operational integrity of sophisticated automation and protection assets. For definitive technical data and compatibility information, please refer to the official resource page for the ALSTOM N897164624A. The reliability of the ALSTOM N897164624A is fundamental to maintaining the performance and safety certifications of the system in which it operates.

Product Parameters

• Brand & Heritage: ALSTOM (Legacy product now supported under Hitachi Energy).

• Part Number: N897164624A.

• Component Type: Electronic PCB assembly or functional sub-module. This could be a specific I/O card, CPU board, memory module, power supply card, or communication interface.

• Compatibility: Designed for insertion into a specific slot or backplane connection within a designated Alstom host device model. Its function is entirely defined by the parent system’s architecture.

• Form Factor: A card-style module intended for installation into a rack or chassis.

• Indicators: Likely includes LED status indicators for power, activity, or fault conditions relevant to its function.

• Interfaces: May feature edge connectors, terminal blocks, or optical ports depending on whether it handles internal bus communication, field wiring, or network data.

Advantages and Features

The primary advantage of the ALSTOM N897164624A is its role as an authentic, OEM-certified replacement part. This guarantees perfect mechanical fit, electrical compatibility, and functional performance, preserving the original design specifications and safety integrity of the host equipment. Using this genuine module mitigates the significant risks posed by counterfeit or non-conforming parts, which can lead to undetected malfunctions, protection system failures, or compromised control loops. The ALSTOM N897164624A is manufactured to the same high industrial standards for temperature tolerance, vibration resistance, and electrical noise immunity as the original, ensuring reliable service in demanding environments like substations and power plants. It enables targeted, cost-effective maintenance by allowing repair at the modular level instead of requiring replacement of an entire costly system.

Application Cases in Various Fields

• Electrical Power Protection: Used as a replacement communication or analog input module within a MICOM P-series or SEPAM protection relay monitoring a circuit breaker, transformer, or generator in a utility or industrial facility.

• Turbine & Generator Control: Serving as a spare processor or I/O card within an Alspa or Micrexx turbine governor control system or a generator excitation system in a thermal or hydroelectric power station.

• Substation Automation: Functioning as a component within a bay controller or remote terminal unit (RTU) in a transmission or distribution substation.

• Asset Life Extension: The ALSTOM N897164624A is procured almost exclusively as a maintenance spare part during the repair, refurbishment, or lifecycle extension program for existing, field-proven Alstom control and protection systems.

Comparison with Competing Products

For a proprietary component like the ALSTOM N897164624A, direct competition from other brands does not exist. The relevant comparisons are between different sources and strategies for maintenance:

1. Genuine OEM Part vs. Third-Party Equivalent: A genuine N897164624A ensures reliability and system integrity. Third-party equivalents, even if electrically similar, may lack rigorous environmental testing, use inferior components, or have firmware differences that cause latent failures.

2. Module Replacement vs. Board-Level Repair: Purchasing a new ALSTOM N897164624A module provides a known-good, warrantied solution. Sending the faulty card for component-level repair can be less expensive but carries risks of recurrent faults and longer downtime.

3. Component Repair vs. System Upgrade: Replacing this module supports the existing system. The alternative is a capital-intensive full system upgrade to a modern platform from Hitachi Energy or a competitor like Siemens or ABB.

4. New vs. Refurbished: A new module offers maximum remaining life. A professionally refurbished unit by an OEM-authorized service center can be a viable, cost-effective alternative for older systems.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Absolute Part Number Verification: The part number ALSTOM N897164624A must be an exact match for the module being replaced. Compare it directly with the label on the faulty card removed from the equipment. Do not assume compatibility based on a similar number.

2. Host System Identification: Document the exact model, serial number, and firmware version of the host device (e.g., relay, controller). This information is crucial for suppliers to verify compatibility and may be needed for post-replacement configuration.

3. Authorized Sourcing: Always procure this part from authorized Hitachi Energy channels or their certified legacy parts distributors. The supply chain for such components is a known target for counterfeiters, and fake parts pose severe operational and safety risks.

4. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Handle the module as ESD-sensitive. Use grounded wrist straps and anti-static packaging throughout the handling process.

5. Configuration Requirements: Determine if the N897164624A module requires any configuration or if settings from the old module need to be transferred. This may involve specialized software tools and technical expertise.
