GE IS200BPIIH1A
- Product Name: GE IS200BPIIH1A Bridge Power Interface Board
- Product Description: A Mark VI IS200 series bridge power interface board that serves as a critical signal relay and interface component for bridge inverter systems using Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristors (IGCTs). It distributes 24 gate firing commands and collects 24 gate status feedback signals.
Detailed content
- Technical Specifications:
- Part Number: IS200BPIIH1A
- Manufacturer: GE Industrial Systems
- Main Series: Mark VI IS200
- Subseries: Innovation
- Gate Firing Commands: 24
- Gate Status Feedback Signals: 24
- Associated Backplane: CABP
- Driver Type: RS‑422
- LEDs: None
- Product Manual: GEI‑100298
- Interface Module: BICI board
- Connector Slots: Occupies J16 and J21 on the CABP backplane
- Functional Features:
- Precise relay of 24 gate firing commands from BICI to two GGXI boards via JGATE connectors
- Aggregation of 24 gate status feedback signals from GGXI boards back to BICI via backplane P1/P2
- RS‑422 differential transmission for high‑speed, noise‑immune communication
- Gate Command ON retention via R‑C time constant circuit (prevents premature IGCT turn‑off)
- Inner cell (2, 3) minimum ON time extended 5 µs longer than outer cells (1, 4)
- P160 signal conditioning from DS200GDPA High‑Frequency Power Supply Board
- Fiber‑optic isolation at GGXI level for high‑voltage isolation
- Application Scenarios: GE Speedtronic Mark VI / Mark VIe turbine control systems, generator exciter cabinets, IGCT‑based high‑power conversion bridges, power plant turbine control.
- Installation Requirements:
- Install in Innovation Series standard board rack, occupying J16 and J21 slots on CABP backplane
- Ensure control rack is fully de‑energized before insertion
- Align backplane connectors carefully to avoid pin damage
- Secure via front panel and backplane connectors
- Usage Notes:
- Not hot‑swappable; requires controlled system shutdown and LOTO (Lock‑Out/Tag‑Out) procedures
- Interface with BICI board; coordinated operation with GGXI boards
- Troubleshooting: Review Mark VI/VIe HMI diagnostic logs for power/bridge communication alarms
- Verify status via backplane signaling; no onboard LEDs
