GE DS3800NTBD

¥999.00

The DS3800NTBD is a power supply/converter board from GE’s Speedtronic Mark IV/V turbine control series. This model belongs to the “NTBD” family—a temperature‑compensated power interface with battery backup designed for high‑availability precision power distribution with integrated battery backup and charging capabilities. The “NTBD” suffix indicates a specialized hybrid board that combines power conversionprecision temperature compensationbattery charging, and automatic transfer to battery backup for critical instrumentation applications. The DS3800NTBD provides regulated +5 VDC and ±15 VDC outputs with low temperature drift while also maintaining a battery backup system to ensure uninterrupted power during input loss. This board is typically installed in instrumentation cabinetscalibration labs, or critical measurement racks where both power continuity and temperature stability are essential.

Critical note: The DS3800NTBD is a temperature‑compensated power board with battery backup. It is physically wider (6HP) than standard 4HP boards and requires 1.5 adjacent slots. Hot‑swapping is not supported.


Key Features & Advantages

  • Integrated Battery Backup – External battery connection with automatic transfer (< 10ms) on input loss.

  • Precision Temperature Compensation – Maintains temperature coefficient of < 50 ppm/°C.

  • Battery Health Monitoring – Monitors battery status and charger condition.

  • Exceptional Regulation – Load regulation of ±0.05% and line regulation of ±0.02%.

  • Full Isolation – 1.5kV isolation protects sensitive circuits.

  • Two Fault Relays – Separate fault indication for system faults and battery status.


Typical Application Cases

  • Critical Instrumentation Cabinets – Powers precision instruments requiring both power continuity and temperature stability.

  • Calibration Laboratories – Supplies power to calibration equipment with battery backup.

  • High‑Precision Measurement Systems – Powers vibration analysis and other critical measurement systems.

  • Remote Locations – Provides power continuity during temporary input loss.


Selection Guidelines & Precautions

  1. Application Verification – Designed for precision instrumentation with battery backup.

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

  3. Backplane Compatibility – Uses P1 and P2 for battery connection. If backplane lacks P2, battery features unavailable.

  4. Battery Connection – Connect external battery to P2 connector. Use proper gauge wiring and fusing.

  5. Temperature Compensation – Requires 30‑minute warm‑up to achieve specified temperature coefficient.

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

  7. Spare Sourcing – Production ended in 2010. Request test report verifying outputs, battery transfer, and temperature stability. Inspect for capacitor bulging or discoloration.
