GE DS3800NSWA

¥999.00

The DS3800NSWA is a power supply/converter board from GE’s Speedtronic Mark IV/V turbine control series. This model belongs to the “NSWA” family—a supervisory control and wide‑area monitoring power interface designed for system‑level power management with integrated wide‑area monitoring and communication capabilities in advanced Mark IV/V applications. The “NSWA” suffix indicates a specialized hybrid board that combines power conversion with system monitoringwide‑area network communicationdiagnostic reporting, and supervisory control functions for critical turbine control systems. The DS3800NSWA provides regulated +5 VDC and ±15 VDC outputs while actively monitoring system health and communicating status to remote monitoring systems via wide‑area network interfaces. This board is typically installed in main control cabinets or advanced I/O racks where remote monitoring and wide‑area communication are required.

Critical note: The DS3800NSWA is a supervisory control and wide‑area monitoring interface. It is physically wider (6HP) than standard 4HP boards and requires 1.5 adjacent slots. Hot‑swapping is not supported.


Key Features & Advantages

  • Wide‑Area Communication – Ethernet/Modbus TCP interface for remote monitoring and control.

  • Supervisory Control – Onboard microcontroller for diagnostic reporting and system health monitoring.

  • Comprehensive Monitoring – Six analog channels provide V+I monitoring for each output plus input.

  • Four Fault Relays – Separate fault indication for system faults.

  • Full Isolation – 1.5kV isolation protects sensitive circuits.


Typical Application Cases

  • Main Control Cabinets – Provides power with integrated wide‑area monitoring.

  • Remote Monitoring Systems – Powers racks requiring remote communication capabilities.

  • System Integration Projects – Used when remote power reporting is required.


Selection Guidelines & Precautions

  1. Application Verification – Designed for integrated power management with wide‑area monitoring.

  2. Physical Compatibility – 6HP wide, requires 1.5 adjacent slots.

  3. Backplane Compatibility – Uses P1 and P2. If backplane lacks P2, communication features unavailable.

  4. Thermal Derating – Full output to 50°C; derate to 90% at 50–55°C, 80% at 55–60°C.

  5. Spare Sourcing – Production ended in 2010. Request test report verifying outputs and communication functions. Inspect for capacitor bulging or discoloration.
