General Electric’s (GE) DS200RTBAG3AHC power exciters, a key component in industrial automation and control systems, have recently released new guidelines for safe operation and maintenance. The excitor is usually mounted in the drive cabinet and has 10 relays that can be driven directly by the guide relay or controlled remotely by the user. It has 52 endpoints for input/output (I/O) functions, including a series of endpoints for the C-shaped contacts of the relay K20, and two plug-in connectors CPH (positive power connector) and CPN (negative power connector) to provide pluggable circuit control power

To ensure safe operation, GE emphasizes that all power supplies must be disconnected before performing any maintenance or operation. The DS200RTBAG3AHC board contains high energy when connected to a power supply, so extra care is required when operating to avoid safety risks

In addition, the DS200RTBAG3AHC‘s Mark V series, although discontinued, is still in high demand in the automation industrial market, as it was one of the last GE product lines to use the patented Speedtronic control system technology

In terms of technical specifications, the DS200RTBAG3AHC has an input voltage of 12-24 VDC, an output voltage of 10-20 VAC, an output current of 100 mA, an operating temperature range of -40 to +70°C, a size of 100 x 50 x 25 mm and a weight of 0.5 kg
