Functional Features

This GE IS200ECTBG1ADE version includes improved solder pads for better reliability. The onboard 2200 µF capacitor array stores enough energy for brief hold-up. Additionally, each terminal block has a clear label for easy identification. Moreover, gold-plated contacts prevent corrosion in industrial environments. You can mount this card directly onto a DIN rail or backplate.

Installation and Compatibility

The board requires a compatible ribbon cable to the IS200EXCSG1A exciter controller. It replaces older revisions like IS200ECTBG1A without firmware changes. Always torque terminal screws to 0.5 Nm for secure connections. This card does not need external power because the backplane supplies it.For Mark VI systems.48 Screw Terminals
