GE DS200PCCAG8A DS200PCCAG8ACB Power Inductor Connect

The GE DS200PCCAG8A DS200PCCAG8ACB DC power inductor connect board filters and conditions DC power for Mark V systems. This board uses inductors and capacitors to remove switching noise from power lines. You will find this inductor board in main control cabinets near power supplies. Its passive design requires no external control or configuration.

Power Filtering Architecture

This inductor board incorporates two high-current inductors in a pi-filter configuration. Consequently, it attenuates high-frequency noise from upstream switching regulators. The GE DS200PCCAG8A DS200PCCAG8ACB also includes bulk capacitance for energy storage. Moreover, the board provides surge suppression for sensitive downstream loads. You can install this board between any DC supply and its load.

Passive Filtering and Noise Reduction

The unit provides -40 dB of high-frequency noise attenuation at 100 kHz. Therefore, it cleans up DC power for sensitive analog circuits. This board replaces the DS200PCCAG8ACB version without any wiring changes. Simply remove the old board and install this one. GE designed this inductor board for single-slot installation. Hence, it fits directly into existing Mark V rack positions.

Four PCB layers separate input and output power traces effectively. Two terminal blocks handle all input and output connections. The GE DS200PCCAG8A DS200PCCAG8ACB includes bleed resistors that discharge capacitors safely. Accordingly, stored energy dissipates within 30 seconds after power removal. This feature protects maintenance personnel from electrical shock.

Energy Storage and Installation Guide

The board holds 8200 µF of bulk capacitance for transient support. This capacitance supplies peak currents during sudden load changes. The GE DS200PCCAG8A DS200PCCAG8ACB works with all GE Mark V power supplies. Always observe polarity markings when connecting DC wires. Two toroidal inductors generate minimal stray magnetic field due to their closed core design.

The metal-oxide varistor clamps voltage spikes above 36V DC. This MOV protects downstream electronics from surges. The GE DS200PCCAG8A DS200PCCAG8ACB requires no periodic maintenance or calibration. Proper torque on terminal screws prevents connection resistance. This board operates reliably in non-condensing environments with free airflow.
