The DS200TCPSG1APE GE Power Supply DC Input Board contains three fuses, one 16-pin connector and one 9-pin connector as well as multiple test points. Its primary function is to convert the 125 VDC power from the TCPD board in the core into the necessary voltages required by various components. When this board stops performing its normal operations, the first step in troubleshooting is to examine the three fuses.

The fuses prevent damage to the board by shutting down the board if too much current is present in the board or if an irregularity has occurred in the current. It is best practice to have an inventory supply of the fuses with the same rating in case the fuses blow. It is important that they are exactly the same rating because a different fuse might expose the board to an over-current condition that can lead to damage.

Installing a replacement fuse is easy and the first step is to power off the drive. Only qualified individuals should be permitted to handle this board to prevent safety hazards or errors ininstallation. Before working on the board, the drive must be tested to verify that no power is present in the drive. Depending on how the board is installed and the accessibility of the board, the fuses can be replaced without removing the board.

The GE Power Supply DC Input Board DS200TCPSG1A contains three fuses, one 16-pin connector, and one 9-pin connector. It also contains multiple test points. When you suspect that the board has stopped performing as expected or has suddenly stopped working the first step in troubleshooting is to examine the three fuses. The fuses prevent damage to the board by shutting down the board if too much current is present in the board or if an irregularity has occurred in the current. Have on hand a supply of the fuses with the same rating in case the fuses blow.

They must be exactly the same rating because a different fuse might expose the board to an over-current condition and lead to damage. The three fuses protect three different circuits on the board from damage caused by too much electric power.

To install a replacement fuse the power to the drive must be turned off. The qualified servicer performing the replacement must have a knowledge of the drive and how to safely disengage the drive from power. Before working on the board, the drive must be tested to verify that no power is present in the drive. Depending on how the board is installed and the accessibility of the board, the fuses can be replaced without removing the board. However, if you must remove the board, use a screwdriver to remove the four screws that secure the board in the metal board rack. One screw is inserted in each corner of the board.
