Description
The GE General Electric DS3800HFPG1B1B is a DS3800-series Drive Control Board associated with the GE Mark IV Speedtronic turbine control platform. The DS3800HFPG is documented as a microprocessor-based drive control board with modular drive connections, retention levers, EPROM sockets, test points, and 34-pin and 40-pin connectors. The board’s microprocessor executes firmware stored in EPROM modules, allowing the board to perform drive-control processing within the associated system. The complete 1B1B revision should be matched with the original board and system configuration before replacement.
