Details

The DS200TCPDG2B is a power distribution circuit board developed by General Electric. The fuses, LED and power distribution connector and cables are rated at 125 VDC and is located in the PD core in the MKV panel. This board features 8 toggle switches, 36 fuses and 4 signal wire terminals along with 36 OK LEDs and 1 10-pin connector.

The fuses on this board are housed in black plastic containers that obstruct the view of the fuse inside. This housing also protects the fuses from damage. The board is populated with 36 green OK LEDs that indicate that the fuse is operating correctly. When replacing the fuse, make sure you use a fuse that is the exact type and rating as the fuse it is replacing. The written information that came with the board describes the type and rating of the fuse you must use. It is best practice to keep on hand a supply of the fuses you need for the board to reduce the downtime needed to replace the fuse and restart the drive.

The GE Power Distribution Board DS200TCPDG2B features 8 toggle switches, 36 fuses, and 4 signal wire terminals. It also has 36 OK LEDs and 1 10-pin connector. The installation instructions that shipped with the original board from the factory contain information about the signal wire terminals. It describes the function of each terminal and what signal wires to attach to it. For example it describes if the terminal receives signals from another board or if it transmits signals from another board. It also describes what information is carried by signal wires attached to it.

However, to replace the board it is not necessary to determine what signal wires to attach to the terminals. All the installer must do is attach the same wires to the same terminals on the replacement board. First examine the signal wire terminals and note that each terminal has an ID associated with it. The IDs are AC1N, AC1H, AC2N, and AC2H. Tag each wire with the ID of the terminal it is attached to. Use a tag that will not easily come off the wire.

The wires are retained in the terminal with a screw. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw and free the signal wire. Do the same for all the signal wires attached to the terminals. When you are ready to install the signal wires, first open the terminals by loosening the screws. Then, insert the wires and tighten the screws. Gently tug the signal wire to test that it is secure.
