The DS200PCCAG5ACB is a Power Connect Card (PCCA) that was created by General Electric.

The DS200PCCAG5ACB was created to be a go-between a SCR power bridge and the drive’s control circuitry. It does this using pulse transformers which will feed the gate drive to the SCR bridge. This board is classified as a high horsepower PCCA and should be used with high HP controllers because it has eliminated all of its snubbers and has located them somewhere else in the system.

Besides not having snubbers, this board also has eliminated its use of an attenuation string. There are 12 plug connectors on the PCCA that can be used by the PCCA to send gate pulse signals that go forward and in reverse to the SCR bridge. It also can communicate with the power supply board using another one of its plug connectors. The power supply board that should be used with this system is a DCFB-type board. This PCCA also uses Leg reactors and fuses. It uses separate or common bus transformers.

The DS200PCCAG5ACB uses a total of 4 wire jumpers. These are labeled WP4, WP3, JP2, and JP1. This board is located just behind the drive control which is behind the power supply board. The PCCA is secured with these two boards onto the backside of a board carrier. There are 6 plastic holders that keep it secured into the carrier.

The DS200PCCAG5 is a General Electric Drive System Power Board also known as a Power Connect Card (PCCA). It is a replacement board for a PCCA that comes standard in a DS200 drive. It is capable of interfacing with a SCR power bridge and the control circuitry on its drive. It can use its pulse transformers to affect the gate drive going to the SCR when it interfaces with the power bridge.

It has the capacity to use its snubber circuits to control power spikes when used with a relatively low HP controller. You may find that at times the snubber circuits are not included on the PCCA on the higher HP controllers and are included somewhere else within the system. This particular type of PCCA is a version that does not include any snubbers and it does not have an attenuation string.

It uses a DCFB power supply board and is used in frames J, K, and M. It has Leg fuses and reactors and also uses a separate or common bus transformer. The hardware on the DS200PCCAG5 includes four jumpers that can be configured and wiring plug connectors. The wire jumpers are labeled JP1, JP2, WP3, and WP4.
