GE Fanuc DS200PCCAG5ACB Power Connect Card

The GE Fanuc DS200PCCAG5ACB Power Connect Card (PCCA) is a critical component in GE Speedtronic Mark V drive systems. It bridges the control circuitry and the SCR power bridge, enabling precise power control to the connected load.

Key Features and Functions

• Interface: Connects the SCR power bridge to the drive’s control circuitry.
• Gate Drive: Delivers pulse signals to the SCR bridge, controlling SCR device conduction.
• High Horsepower: Designed for high horsepower applications; it eliminates the need for snubbers or an attenuation string.
• Plug Connectors: Provides 12 plug connectors for gate pulse signals and one for power supply board communication.
• Leg Reactors and Fuses: Incorporates leg reactors and fuses for added protection.
• Bus Transformers: Works with either shared or independent bus transformers.
• Wire Jumpers: Uses four wire jumpers (WP4, WP3, JP2, JP1) for easy configuration.

Physical Placement and Installation

• Placement: The card is located behind the drive control board, which itself is positioned behind the power supply board.
• Securing Method: Secure the card to the backside of a board carrier using six plastic holders.

Replacement Considerations

• Compatibility: Always ensure that the replacement PCCA matches the specific DS200 drive model and configuration.
• High Horsepower: For high horsepower applications, choose a replacement PCCA designed for similar use.
• Installation: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper installation and configuration.
