Product Name:​ Mark V Speedtronic Contactor Driver Board
Introduction:​ Interface board that receives 5 V logic from the Mark V DSP and drives high-speed DC contactor coils in turbine exciter, DC bus and trip circuits.

Detailed content

Technical Specifications:
  • Logic Input:​ 5 V DC ±5 % (from 40-pin ribbon)
  • Coil Drive Output:​ 30–40 V DC, up to 3 A per channel; 105 V DC pulse (250 ms) for fast pick-up
  • Channels:​ 12 independent solid-state driver channels
  • Isolation:​ 1500 V AC optical isolation (input to output)
  • Action Time:​ ≤ 2 ms pick-up / drop-out
  • Board Power:​ 75–149 V AC/DC auxiliary, 28 V DC hold supply
  • Temperature:​ −30 °C to +65 °C (industrial grade)
  • Dimensions:​ 159 × 178 mm (6.26 × 7.01 in), 6U Eurocard
  • Mounting:​ Mark V rack, 96-pin backplane + terminal block
Functional Features:​ JP2 sync jumper allows 1–8 boards to close contactors with zero time-skew; on-board test points (REFA, +15 V, coil current); green IMOK / red FAIL LEDs; solid-state output replaces mechanical interposing relays.
Working Principle:​ 5 V logic → high-speed opto-coupler → MOSFET/IGBT stage → contacts. Pulse-and-hold algorithm reduces coil heating by ~40 %.
Application Scenarios:​ GE 6B/7FA/9E gas turbine exciter field break, DC link quick-disconnect, emergency magnetic trip, Mark V→VI retrofit.
Installation & Notes:​ Use twisted/shielded coil wires; set JP2 before energizing; do not exceed 40 V coil rating; verify 1500 V isolation before rack insertion.
