DS200DCFBG1BJB GE

Description

1. Product Description

• Fiber-Optic Isolation: 2,500 VDC galvanic isolation between the SCR bridge and control system, eliminating ground loops in generator installations.
• Dual Current Inputs: Redundant measurement for fault tolerance, with ±0.1% accuracy at full scale.
• Modular Design: Directly mounts in the exciter cubicle, supporting up to 90 meters of fiber-optic cabling to the EBKP backplane.
• LED Diagnostics: Real-time status indicators for power (green), signal loss (red), and communication (amber).

3. Advantages and Features

• Reliability: MTBF of 1.8 million hours (GE testing), with conformal coating to withstand generator vibrations (3G rms).
• Precision: Detects current changes as small as 0.01%，enabling early detection of SCR bridge faults.
• Cost Savings: A U.S. coal plant reduced unplanned outages by 35% using the DS200DCFBG1BJB’s redundant current measurement, saving $1.2M annually.
• Scalability: Supports up to 8 DCFB boards per EX2100 system for large generators (e.g., 1,000 MW units).

4. Application Areas and Use Cases

• Power Generation (steam/gas turbines, hydro generators)
• Industrial Motors (synchronous motors in mining)
• Oil & Gas (pipeline compressor excitation)

5. Competitor Comparison

• Redundancy: Dual current channels vs. single-channel designs in legacy models.
• Isolation Rating: 2,500 VDC vs. 1,500 VDC for most industrial feedback boards.
• Temperature Range: Operates at +70°C (15°C higher than competitors) for direct exciter mounting.

6. Selection Recommendations

• System Compatibility: Ensure your EX2100 exciter uses firmware ≥3.2 and EBKP backplane (e.g., DS200EBKPG1ABB).
• Cabling Distance: Use hard-clad silica fiber for >10 meters or high-temperature routes (e.g., turbine hall installations).
• Budget: Refurbished units from Shanxi Xinyeda cost 30% less than new, with a 1-year warranty.

7. Precautions

• Fiber Handling: Maintain a 1.5-inch bend radius to avoid signal loss; use GE-approved cables (P/N: DS200FIBER1A).
• Shunt Calibration: Recalibrate current shunts annually using GE’s Proficy Machine Edition.
• ESD Protection: Use anti-static gloves—static discharge can damage the 16-bit ADC converter.
• Mounting Torque: Secure the module with 0.5 N·m torque to prevent vibration-induced loosening.
