IC3600AVSA1 is a Voltage Isolator Relay Board manufactured and designed by General Electric is part of Mark I & II Series used in gas turbine control systems. A Voltage Isolator Relay Board (VIRB) is a device used to provide electrical isolation and relay control for different voltage levels. It is commonly used in industrial and automation applications where there is a need to interface between different voltage systems and ensure proper isolation to protect sensitive components. The primary function of a Voltage Isolator Relay Board is to provide a barrier between two voltage domains, such as low-voltage control signals and higher-voltage power circuits. It prevents the high-voltage side from affecting or damaging the low-voltage side and vice versa. This isolation is typically achieved using opto-isolators or other isolation techniques, which use light or magnetic fields to transmit signals across the isolation barrier.
FEATURES:
Voltage Isolator Relay Boards typically offer a range of features that make them suitable for electrical isolation and relay control applications. Here are some common features you might find in a Voltage Isolator Relay Board:
Isolation Barrier: The board incorporates an isolation barrier that separates the high-voltage and low-voltage sections, providing electrical isolation and protecting sensitive components from voltage spikes or surges.
Opto-Isolators: These components use light to transmit signals across the isolation barrier, ensuring reliable and noise-free communication between the different voltage domains.
Relay Outputs: The board includes relay circuits that can be controlled by low-voltage signals. These relays serve as electromechanical switches to handle higher voltage loads or control external devices.
Input Voltage Compatibility: Voltage Isolator Relay Boards are designed to support a specific input voltage range, such as 24V DC or 110V AC. It's essential to select a board that matches the voltage requirements of your application.
Output Voltage Compatibility: The relays on the board are capable of switching specific output voltage levels, which should be compatible with the devices or equipment you intend to control.
Mounting Options: Voltage Isolator Relay Boards can be designed for panel mounting or DIN rail mounting, allowing for easy installation in electrical enclosures or control cabinets.
