Description

The DS3800NPDA1B1B is a printed circuit board (PCB). This device was created by General Electric (GE). The DS3800NPDA1B1B is just one of the many components in the MKIV (Mark IV) system designed for turbine management. Mark IV is one system in the Mark series of turbine management systems. The purpose of the Mark systems is to control and monitor gas and steam turbine operations. The Mark systems are also used to ensure that turbine systems are safe from operating under potentially dangerous conditions.

The processes that the Mark systems are based on have developed and evolvedover several decades. The DS3800NPDA1B1B is a very small circuit board which is also known as a daughter board or daughter card. Daughter cards are smaller boards which can be added on to other circuit boards. Adding on a daughter board gives the components more functionality.

Eight (8) large brown resistors are featured on the DS3800NPDA1B1B. These resistors are situated upright on the DS3800NPDA1B1B. These resistors are connected to the board with grey wire. These brown resistors are surrounded by a series of bands in various colors. The bands are grey, blue, black, gold, orange, and yellow in color. Also located on the DS3800NPDA1B1B are two (2) yellow capacitors. One of the capacitors is large and the other is smaller. These capacitors are also situated vertically on the surface of the DS3800NPDA1B1B. These capacitors are connected to the DS3800NPDA1B1B board with thin silver wires. At least eight (8) jumper pins can be seen on the DS3800NPDA1B1B.
