GE DS200SSBAG1B DS200SSBAG1BAA Snubber Board

Key Technical Specifications

This GE DS200SSBAG1B DS200SSBAG1BAA board handles 600V AC maximum voltage rating. It suppresses 50A peak surge currents from drive switching. The unit measures 18 cm in length, 14 cm in width, and 3.5 cm in height. Its total weight equals 0.55 kg without any packaging materials.

The GE DS200SSBAG1B DS200SSBAG1BAA includes six independent RC snubber networks for IGBT protection. Additionally, it features one common ground bus bar for easy installation. A single 12-pin terminal block connects each snubber across switching devices. The board contains 6 resistors, 6 capacitors, 6 LED indicators, and 12 terminal positions.

GE DS200SSBAG1B DS200SSBAG1BAA stores minimal energy in each snubber capacitor. Each 0.47 µF capacitor absorbs turn-off transients from IGBTs. This arrangement limits voltage spikes to below 1000V during switching. Therefore, the board protects power semiconductors from overvoltage damage.

Design and Integration

Both the GE DS200SSBAG1B and DS200SSBAG1BAA versions share identical snubber values. These boards use two-layer PCB construction with high-creepage traces for voltage isolation. Consequently, the GE DS200SSBAG1B DS200SSBAG1BAA operates reliably from -20°C to +65°C ambient temperature.

For installation, you need M3 screws for the four mounting holes. The board draws zero control current for normal operation. Each snubber connects in parallel with the switching device for transient suppression. We recommend mounting the board close to the IGBT modules for best performance.

Practical Application

This drive snubber board reduces electromagnetic interference from IGBT switching in drive systems. It connects across power semiconductor modules to limit voltage spikes. The GE DS200SSBAG1B DS200SSBAG1BAA also provides visual LED indication of snubber health. Therefore, it extends the life of switching devices in industrial drive systems.
