GE DS200LPPAG1AAA – LPPA Power/Distribution Board for GE Industrial Drives

The GE DS200LPPAG1AAA, commonly referred to as an LPPA board, is used inside GE DC/AC drive and exciter cabinets to distribute low-voltage power and interface key protection/status circuits. From my experience, this module sits between the cabinet’s power supplies and the control/I/O stack, so when it’s stable, the rest of the system tends to behave. You might notice the robust layout and connector coding—maintenance teams usually appreciate how quickly it swaps like‑for‑like during a planned stop, without disturbing harness routing or parameter data.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty period: 365 days
• Delivery time: 1 week for in‑stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment method: 50% advance payment; full payment for delivery
• Express delivery methods: FedEx / UPS / DHL
• Compatibility check: Share the cabinet nameplate and a photo of the LPPA label; it typically confirms the right revision fast and avoids returns.

Key Features

• Power distribution role – Routes low-voltage rails to control and I/O boards and supports key protection/status pathways.
• Stability under load – A healthy LPPA typically stops nuisance trips linked to marginal rails or flaky internal signaling.
• Drop‑in spare – Like‑for‑like replacement to keep wiring and cabinet mechanics untouched in most cases.
• Service‑friendly mechanics – Keyed connectors, clear labeling, and accessible standoffs shorten the maintenance window.
• Lifecycle extension – Practical path to stabilize legacy GE drive cabinets without a full retrofit project.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

Found in GE DC2000/AC2000 drives and, in many cases, EX-series exciters across metals processing, paper & converting, mining conveyors, oil & gas pumps/compressors, cranes/hoists, and large process fans. A typical scenario is a cabinet that passes start‑up but throws sporadic undervoltage or internal comms‑related alarms after heat soak—replacing DS200LPPAG1AAA often stabilizes the rails and clears the chatter without PLC edits.

Advantages & Value for Procurement

• Reliability – Restores clean power distribution and consistent status signaling, reducing nuisance trips.
• Compatibility – Built for GE DS200‑series cabinets; we validate part number and revision letters before shipment.
• Cost savings – Board‑level maintenance is typically far cheaper than cabinet replacement or a full retrofit.
• Predictable downtime – Drop‑in mechanics keep changeouts inside tight maintenance windows.
• Technical support – Guidance on revision matching, harness checks, and post‑swap verification to keep risk low.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet standards – Install in a clean, dry, ventilated enclosure. Keep ambient 0…55 °C and avoid condensation or conductive dust.
• Safety & isolation – Lockout/tagout, wait for DC bus discharge, verify zero energy before handling.
• ESD handling – Use a wrist strap and handle by PCB edges; avoid touching component pins.
• Harness seating – Fully seat edge and harness connectors; confirm PE/ground continuity and strain relief.
• Post‑swap checks – Verify LV rail stability, cabinet interlocks, and a controlled ramp; monitor alarms during trial run.
• Routine care – Annual dust removal, connector inspection/re‑seating, and event‑log review; firmware only applicable to companion control boards.

Quality & Certifications

• Used within CE‑conformant drive assemblies; the board forms part of the certified system.
• UL recognition typically applies at the complete drive level.
• RoHS‑aligned materials/processes in many cases for GE electronic spares.
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems at the OEM level.
• Warranty: 12 months (365 days) against functional defects under normal operation.
