GE DS3800NVCB

¥999.00

The DS3800NVCB is a power supply/converter board from GE’s Speedtronic Mark IV/V turbine control series. This model belongs to the “NVCB” family—a variable voltage converter board designed for flexible voltage conversion with adjustable output voltage for versatile industrial applications. The “NVCB” suffix indicates a specialized board that combines power conversionadjustable output voltagesystem monitoring, and diagnostic features for flexible power distribution. The DS3800NVCB provides regulated DC outputs with adjustable main output voltage, making it suitable for applications requiring flexible voltage conversion. This board is typically installed in auxiliary control cabinetstest equipment, or field device power distribution racks where adjustable voltage conversion is required.

Critical note: The DS3800NVCB is a variable voltage converter board with adjustable main output (5–24 VDC). It is physically wider (6HP) than standard 4HP boards and requires 1.5 adjacent slots. Hot‑swapping is not supported.


Key Features & Advantages

  • Adjustable Main Output – 5–24 VDC adjustable via onboard potentiometer.

  • Full Isolation – 1.5kV isolation protects sensitive circuits.

  • Multiple Outputs – Main output plus fixed +5V and ±15V rails.

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


Typical Application Cases

  • Auxiliary Control Cabinets – Provides flexible voltage conversion.

  • Test Equipment – Supplies adjustable voltage for testing.

  • Field Device Power Distribution – Powers devices with varying voltage requirements.


Selection Guidelines & Precautions

  1. Application Verification – Designed for flexible voltage conversion with adjustable output.

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

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

  4. Voltage Adjustment – Adjust main output via onboard potentiometer. Use precision voltmeter for calibration.

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

  6. Spare Sourcing – Production ended in 2010. Request test report verifying outputs and adjustment range. Inspect for capacitor bulging or discoloration.
