DS200PCCAG9A | GE Mark V Power Board In Stock

Description

Product Introduction

The DS200PCCAG9A is a power entry board in GE’s Mark V DS200 series, purpose-built for gas and steam turbine control systems. It converts incoming plant power to regulated DC voltages for logic, I/O, and communication modules.

What sets the “9A” revision apart is its higher continuous output rating on the 24 V rail—10 A versus 8 A on earlier “8” series boards. This gives you headroom for additional I/O cards without swapping the entire power distribution panel. No firmware, no configuration. Just wire it per the terminal block diagram and run.

Key Technical Specifications

Key Selling Points & Differentiators

• Higher current capacity than PCCAG8 series – 10 A continuous on 24 V rail supports larger I/O expansions without adding external power supplies.
• No firmware mismatches – Pure analog power design. No software revisions to track or conflicts to troubleshoot.
• Our live test includes 30-hour burn-in – Verified at 24 V @ 8 A, 5 V @ 10 A. Ripple measured under 40 mV peak-to-peak on both rails.
• Backward compatible with most Mark V racks – Replaces PCCAG8A, 8B, 8C directly. Check your backplane pin 1 orientation—rarely an issue but worth a visual.
• QC includes capacitor ESR testing – We measure equivalent series resistance on all electrolytic caps. Any reading above 0.1Ω at 100 kHz triggers replacement before shipping.
• 2-year warranty – Full replacement or refund for functional defects. We cover return shipping on verified failures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I replace a DS200PCCAG8ACB with this DS200PCCAG9A directly?
A: Yes, in most Mark V racks. The pinout and mounting holes are identical. The 9A draws slightly higher inrush current (35 A peak vs. 28 A), so verify your upstream breaker or fuse is rated for at least 10 A slow-blow. If you’re running on a marginal 5 A breaker, upgrade it.

Q: Is this board compatible with a Mark V turbine running Speedtronic software version 5.0?
A: Yes. The power board has zero interaction with software. Any Mark V CPU board will see the 24 V and 5 V rails as identical to the original supply. We’ve tested this on actual Mark V panels with v4.2 through v6.1.

Q: How do I know if my rack needs the isolated 15 V output?
A: Look at your existing board. If you see wires landed on terminals labeled “+15 ISO” and “ISO RTN”, you’re using it. If those terminals are empty, ignore it. The 9A supplies 15 V only when you connect field wiring to that section of the barrier strip.

Q: What’s your policy on surplus authenticity?
A: We source only from documented plant buybacks or authorized GE overstock distributors. Every board is visually inspected for GE hologram labels, date codes, and PCB silkscreen consistency. We reject any board with reworked solder joints or non-original components.

Q: Will static electricity damage this board during handling?
A: Yes. The input MOSFETs and optoisolators are static-sensitive. In our experience, 40% of “dead on arrival” boards from other sellers are actually ESD-killed during handling. Always use a wrist strap grounded through 1 MΩ, and keep the board in its anti-static bag until installation.

Q: Do you provide the terminal block wiring diagram?
A: Yes. We include a laminated pinout card with each board, showing which terminals are AC line, neutral, ground, 24 V return, and the +5 V backplane pins. Do not guess—we’ve seen technicians connect 120 VAC to the 24 V return terminal. That destroys the board instantly.

Q: What’s your lead time?
A: In-stock items ship within 1 business day. Domestic US arrives in 2–4 days via UPS Ground. Expedited options (2nd Day Air, Next Day) available at checkout. International: 5–10 days via DHL Express. Customs duties are buyer’s responsibility.
