The GE DC Power Connect Board DS200PCCAG1ACB serves as an interface between the drive and the SCR power bridge. Before you replace the DS200PCCAG1ACB board, in order to have the best use out of your GE DC board, check the diagnostics information available on the drive to verify that the drive is defective or is in need of repair.

The first indication of trouble on the drive might be a trip condition on the drive. For example, if the drive overheats, the motor will shutdown and a message will display indicating the problem. If that occurs, check the ventilation of the drive and the temperature of devices around the drive.

Another indication of trouble is the LED indicators on the control panel. If one is lit, it indicates that a fault condition has occurred. If the fault indicates the DS200PCCAG1ACB is defective, replace it.

The drive diagnostics provide information on all aspects of the drive operation. Diagnostics is a view-only file and can help you pinpoint any problem. Use it to inspect the operation of the DS200PCCAG1ACB and if a problem is indicated it is best practice to replace it.

The DS200PCCAG1ACB features no fuses, indicator LEDs, test points, or switches so the opportunity for troubleshooting the board is limited. However, the board does contain four jumpers that can be used to configure the behavior of the board in the drive. You can configure the operation of the capacitors as they relate to the power bridge and the voltage feedback channel.

The DS200PCCAG1ACB GE DC Power Connect Board serves as an interface between the drive and the SCR power bridge. Replacement of this board is designed to be accomplished quickly and easily to minimize the downtime of the drive. Before replacement, there are steps you must take to assure that the replacement drive will behave exactly like the old drive. This includes inspecting the old drive and noting the jumper settings on the configurable jumpers and switches to ensure that the replacement functions in the same capacity as the original drive. In some situations, a newer version of the board will not contain the same jumpers.

If this is the case, you can refer to the information that came with the board to understand how to duplicate the configuration of the new drive. The new board might have components such as jumpers, switches, and/or wires in different locations than the original board and the components might be different. That is why it is important for you to review and inspect the original and replacement.
