Description

The DS3800XTIA is part of the Speedtronic Mark IV turbine series manufactured by General Electric.The DS3800XTIA is one of many components used to run and control steam or gas turbines. The gas and steam turbines are a fast way to provide energy and flexible fuel. A gas turbine builds pressure by using a combination of air and fuel in an internal combustion engine to create a mixture of gases to turn the turbine blades. A steam turbine uses a large boiler which is filled with water. The boiler is then heated to create large amounts of steam which then turns the blades of the turbine. The energy produced by the spinning turbine blades is then harnessed for other purposes. The DS3800XTIA has thirty bright yellow diodes, one large dark yellow diode, two small dark diodes. The diodes only allow energy to flow in one direction. The DS3800XTIA has one blue Variable Resistor also called a Potentiometer. The Variable Resistor has a small screw on the top to adjust the resistor. The DS3800XTIA has two sets of Jumper Ports which come with covers and also control how the energy moves around the circuit board. The DS3800XTIA has three large black female terminal ports. Each female terminal port has twelve golden ports. The DS3800XTIA has a medium size black male terminal port. These allow the DS3800XTIA to be connected to surrounding circuit boards.
