DS3800NPAC

The DS3800NPAC is a printed circuit board component designed by General Electric for turbine control under Mark IV. The Mark IV is a turbine system from the Mark series. It controls and automates the processes of gas and steam turbines. Fuels are managed according to the turbine system's speed and load management demands. The control system regulates cooling and shutdown, as well as temperature, automated starter, and steam and water injection. The Mark IV safeguards both the turbine and the personnel who operate it and has diagnostics built-in.

• The diagnostics make the repair and troubleshooting of turbines much easier. The Mark systems have been used to manage turbines since the late 1960s, when the first Mark I system was designed. The Mark systems were built on methods that had been established since the late 1940s. These procedures were created with the use of newly available technology that was introduced over time.
• The Mark IV system was developed after forty years of operational success and decades of refinement and learning. All of the criteria for managing turbines, as well as the turbine's auxiliary functions, are met by the Mark IV system. It makes use of cutting-edge technology at the time.
• The components include a communicator, which is a device that communicates between the turbine control and the operator interface. If the microprocessor or CRT fails, the system contains a backup LED display.
