GE IC3600EPSD1

IC3600EPSD1 is a Power Supply Regulator Card manufactured and designed by General Electric and is part of the Mark I & II Series used in gas turbine control systems. A Power Supply Regulator Card, also known as a Power Regulator Card or simply Regulator Card, is an electronic circuit board or module designed to regulate and control the output voltage of a power supply. Its main purpose is to maintain a steady and stable voltage level despite fluctuations in the input voltage or changes in the connected load's current requirements.

FEATURES:

Voltage Regulation: The primary function of the regulator card is to regulate the output voltage from the power supply. It ensures that the voltage delivered to the connected electronic circuits or devices remains constant within a specified range.

Load Regulation: A good regulator card should handle changes in the connected load's current draw without significantly affecting the output voltage. This feature is known as load regulation.

Noise Filtering: The card may include filtering components like capacitors and inductors to reduce any electrical noise and interference from the power supply, ensuring a cleaner output.

Protection Features: Some regulator cards have built-in protection mechanisms, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown, to safeguard the connected circuits and devices from damage.

Heat Dissipation: Voltage regulators can generate heat during operation, so many regulator cards have heat sinks or other cooling mechanisms to dissipate the heat and prevent overheating.

Status Indicators: Some regulator cards include LEDs or other indicators to show the status of the power supply, like power-on status or fault conditions.

Compatibility: Regulator cards come in various types and designs, compatible with different power supply units and electronic systems.
