Description

The DS3800NPSK is what is known as a power supply circuit board. This product is called a PCB or printed circuit board. This device was created to be a component in the MKIV (Mark IV) system by GE (General Electric). The Mark IV is one system in the Mark series. The Mark series were developed to regulate turbine operations. The Mark systemsare made to protect turbines from harmful conditions and to automate turbine processes.

The DS3800NPSK contains a number of various electronic components. Featured near the center of the DS3800NPSK there are two (2) large coils which are also known as inductors. These inductors consist of plastic covered coils of wire. Two (2) large silver capacitors are positioned right next to these inductors. The large capacitors are sitting vertically on the DS3800NPSK. Two (2) diodes are located on the board beside the inductors. The diodes are made of silver metal and are large in size. Wires connect the two diodes with the surface of the DS3800NPSK. Also seen on the DS3800NPSK are two potentiometers. The potentiometers are blue and each has a dial which can be adjusted to change the resistance of the device. Potentiometers can also be called variable resistors. One (1) large plate which is made of metal is attached to the DS3800NPSK. The plate features two (2) metal transistors which are large. The transistors are colored silver. These transistors are attached to the surface of the DS3800NPSK with wire. Close to the metal plate, there are four (4) test points. The DS3800NPSK can be tested for proper functioning using these test points.
