GE DS3800NTBE

¥999.00

The DS3800NTBE is a power supply/converter board from GE’s Speedtronic Mark IV/V turbine control series. This model belongs to the “NTBE” family—a temperature‑compensated power interface with battery backup and enhanced diagnostics designed for high‑availability precision power distribution with integrated battery backup, charging capabilities, and advanced diagnostic features. The “NTBE” suffix indicates a specialized hybrid board that combines power conversionprecision temperature compensationbattery chargingautomatic transfer to battery backup, and enhanced diagnostic monitoring for critical instrumentation applications. The DS3800NTBE provides regulated +5 VDC and ±15 VDC outputs with low temperature drift while maintaining a battery backup system and performing advanced diagnostics on both the power supply and battery health. This board is typically installed in instrumentation cabinetscalibration labs, or critical measurement racks where both power continuity and temperature stability are essential.

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.

  • Enhanced Diagnostics – Onboard diagnostic engine for power supply and battery health monitoring.

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

  • Event Logging – 1,000‑event buffer for failure analysis.

  • Predictive Failure Indicators – Early warning of potential component failure.

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

  • Full Isolation – 1.5kV isolation protects sensitive circuits.


Typical Application Cases

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

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

  • 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 and diagnostics.

  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, diagnostic functions, and temperature stability. Inspect for capacitor bulging or discoloration.
