GE DS200NATOG1A | Voltage Feedback Scaling Board

Description

The GE DS200NATOG1A is a Voltage Feedback Scaling Board associated with GE industrial drive and control equipment. It is part of the LS2100 / LCI Innovation hardware family and is designed to attenuate AC and DC voltage signals associated with an SCR bridge so that usable feedback signals can be provided to the control circuitry.

The board uses five precision-resistor strings. These are associated with the three AC phases and the positive and negative DC bus feedback paths. Stab connectors allow the resistor network to be configured for different nominal voltage inputs.

 

📋 Product Datasheet

The available technical references identify the DS200NATOG1A input configurations as 6900, 4200, 3300, 2200 and/or 1200 V, with five resistor strings and three stab connectors per string.

 

⚙️ Main Functions

📈 Voltage Feedback Scaling — Reduces high-level AC and DC voltage feedback to levels suitable for downstream control circuitry.

⚡ SCR Bridge Feedback — Used to derive feedback from an SCR bridge.

🔧 Precision Resistor Network — Five series-connected precision resistor strings provide the attenuation function.

🔌 Configurable Input Connection — Stab connectors select the appropriate resistor combination for different input-voltage levels.

🛡️ Overvoltage Protection — MOVs are used to limit excessive output voltage under specified fault conditions.

📖 Product Usage Notes

The basic feedback path can be represented as:

SCR Bridge → DS200NATOG1A → Scaled Voltage Feedback → GE Control Electronics

The board itself performs the scaling through resistor networks rather than acting as an active controller. Technical documentation describes one resistor string for each of the three AC phases and one each for the positive and negative DC bus voltages.

The board has five resistor strings, with three stab connectors per string, providing a total of 15 stab connection points. The connectors are used to select the appropriate resistor combination for the required voltage range.

The DS200NATOG1A works together with the applicable VME backplane and Gate Distribution and Status Board in its associated control architecture.
