Key Features

Multi-Output Power Distribution
- Delivers stable +5 VDC, ±15 VDC, ±24 VDC for control logic, sensors, and communication circuits.
- Supplies regulated DC power for motor/generator field excitation and 115 VAC for cabinet cooling fans, ensuring thermal stability.
Precision Signal Feedback & Monitoring
- Integrates high-accuracy circuits to monitor armature voltage/current, field current, AC line voltage/frequency, and phase sequence.
- Transmits analog feedback signals to SDCC/LDCC control boards via amplifiers; DIP switch SW6 enables scalable motor voltage feedback calibration.
- Converts voltage signals to frequency signals via a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for transmission through connector 1PL.
Robust Configuration & Diagnostics
- 12 jumpers and 7 DIP switches allow flexible configuration for different drive and turbine applications.
