GE IS200EXHSG4AEC
Product Name: EX2100 Exciter Terminal Board (High-Speed Relay Driver)
Product Introduction: The GE IS200EXHSG4AEC is an exciter terminal board within GE’s Mark VI / EX2100 series, providing secure field wiring termination for the exciter rack. It serves as the high-speed relay driver (G4 group) in breaker mode for simplex applications, responsible for field flashing and protection functions.

Key Features: Direct replacement for older EXHSG revisions; heavy-duty PCB with thick copper traces for high-current paths; supports both AC and DC field wiring types; no configuration jumpers or software setup required; 24 transient suppression diodes clamp surges at 600 V protecting sensitive rack electronics; 6000 µF energy storage smooths voltage spikes from inductive field loads.
Working Principle: The board wets the 41, 53A, and 53B contacts. It is responsible for field flashing and protection functions, driving trip and close relays in simplex breaker-mode excitation applications.
Installation Requirements: Disconnect the main exciter supply before terminating any wires; secure the board with four mounting screws; route field cables through bottom entry; terminal blocks accept up to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire; connect to the main rack via two shielded ribbon cables; typically mounted near the exciter field output.
Usage Notes: For a redundant equivalent, replace “G4” with “G3” in the part number. The board supports both trip and close relay functionalities, which is not found in contactor versions of this board.
