Description

The DS3800NPSV1B1B was made by General Electric as a part of the Speedtronic Mark IV system. The Mark systems have been in charge of with the automation and operation of gas and steam turbines for over sixty years. Mark IV also protects turbine systems from working conditions deemed unsafe. These Mark systems have been used for the operation of turbines since the end of the 1940s.

Found on the DS3800NPSV1B1B are 12 diodes. The diodes are laid out in horizontal rows of two diodes each. These diodes are located on the right side of the DS3800NPSV1B1B. These diodes are grey and black. One light-emitting diode sometimes called an LED, or light-emitting diode is on the left side of the DS3800NPSV1B1B. This light-emitting diode is orange. This LED is lit with an orange glow when it is working properly. Near the middle of the DS3800NPSV1B1B there is one capacitor. This capacitor is silver and shaped like a rectangle. On the left side of the DS3800NPSV1B1B there are two small transistors. The transistors are black and shaped like a half circle. These transistors are marked with the labels Q2 and Q1. Situated on the left of the DS3800NPSV1B1B there is one integrated circuit. This integrated circuit is called U1. Also arranged all over the DS3800NPSV1B1B are a variety of resistors. One resistor is brown in color and striped in various colored bands in black, red, and yellow. The brown resistor is identified by the label R9. Several smaller resistors are also found on the DS3800NPSV1B1B. These resistors are light blue and have bands in varying colors.
