GE IS200TBTCH1C

Description

The GE IS200TBTCH1C appears to be a thermocouple terminal board used within the GE Mark VI Series gas turbine control systems. It plays a critical role in acquiring temperature readings from thermocouples and converting them into a usable format for the control system.

Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and how you can find more information about it:

Function:

• The IS200TBTCH1C connects to thermocouples, which are sensors that produce a small voltage signal proportional to the temperature they are measuring.
• The board features:
  • Cold junction compensation: Thermocouple output is sensitive to the temperature at the connection point with the wires (cold junction). The board likely has circuitry to compensate for this variation and provide an accurate temperature reading based on the actual hot junction temperature (where the measurement is taken).
  • Signal conditioning: The weak voltage signal from the thermocouple might be amplified or filtered to ensure a reliable and accurate signal for the Mark VI system.
  • Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC): In some versions, the board might have an ADC that converts the conditioned voltage signal from the thermocouple into a digital signal that the Mark VI system’s processor can understand and utilize for control purposes.

Applications:

The IS200TBTCH1C is essential for the Mark VI system by:

cations within the gas turbine using thermocouples.

• Providing cold junction compensation and signal conditioning for accurate temperature measurement.
• Delivering digital temperature data (depending on the board version) to the control system for monitoring, diagnostics, and closed-loop control of the turbine.
