GE IS200ERDDH1ABA Exciter Regulator Dynamic Discharge Board

GE IS200ERDDH1ABA is ERDD Exciter Regulator Dynamic Discharge Board for GE EX2100 excitation system and Mark VI turbine control platform. It provides IGBT gate drive signals and dynamic discharge protection to suppress overvoltage on the DC link, protecting the power bridge unit during generator excitation fault conditions.

This board supports simplex and redundant operating modes. It controls K3 charging relay in simplex configuration and K41 de-excitation relay under redundant setup. It collects bridge voltage and current feedback signals, communicating with DSP control board via VME backplane bus, widely used as spare parts for power plant excitation cabinet maintenance.
