Current Sensing Features

The GE DS200FCSAG1A DS200FCSAG1ACB uses a rugged four-layer PCB. Over 130 resistors, capacitors, and burden resistors process CT signals. A single 64-pin DIN connector links this board to the backplane. Consequently, current data reaches the main processor accurately. Two onboard LEDs show power and active status. Moreover, film capacitors filter noise on analog input lines.

Input and Signal Conditioning Capabilities

You get six differential current input channels on this sensing board. Each channel accepts 0 to 5 A AC from current transformers. The GE DS200FCSAG1A DS200FCSAG1ACB also provides three differential voltage inputs for PT signals. These inputs handle 0 to 120 V AC nominal. A 0.1 ohm burden resistor terminates each CT channel. Therefore, this board converts high currents to safe voltage levels for measurement.

Power and Energy Storage

You must install this board inside a protected Mark V cabinet. The backplane supplies 5 VDC and 24 VDC to the GE DS200FCSAG1A DS200FCSAG1ACB. Ceramic capacitors filter high-frequency noise on power lines. Film capacitors store energy for stable analog references. As a result, the board delivers accurate current measurements consistently.

Mechanical Layout

This current sensing board measures exactly 25.4 cm in width. Its height reaches 17.8 cm. The total weight equals just 0.45 kg. As a result, this board saves valuable rack space. The lightweight design also reduces stress on the backplane connector. Always handle this sensing board by its edges. This precaution prevents electrostatic discharge damage.

Installation Context

This board works alongside other Mark V I/O and processor cards. Its compact size allows easy placement near CT and PT wiring. The robust design handles continuous industrial monitoring. Choose the GE DS200FCSAG1A DS200FCSAG1ACB for your current sensing interface needs.
