GE DS200PCCAG5ACB – PCCA Power Connect Card for GE DC/AC Drive Cabinets

The GE DS200PCCAG5ACB is a PCCA (Power Connect Card) that interfaces the drive control core with the power section. From my experience, this board routes firing/gate signals to the bridge and conditions key feedbacks (current, voltage, permissives) coming back from the power stack. Plants typically keep a G5 variant as a like-for-like spare for DS200-series cabinets when nuisance trips or unstable bridge feedbacks start creeping in. One thing I appreciate is the harness layout—keyed connectors and clear markings make a planned swap fast and predictable.

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 PCCA label/revision—this typically locks the correct match quickly.

Key Features

• Power bridge interface – Routes firing/gate signals and returns conditioned feedbacks so regulation stays stable.
• Protection pathways – Carries over-current/over-voltage, permissive, and interlock lines for consistent trip logic.
• G5 variant compatibility – Tuned for cabinets requiring the G5 hardware group; exact fit depends on bridge option kits and cabinet build.
• Drop-in replacement – Like-for-like spare that usually avoids rewiring and keeps parameterization intact.
• Service-friendly design – Keyed headers, labeled positions, and accessible standoffs shorten changeout time.
• Lifecycle extension – A practical way to stabilize legacy GE drives without a full retrofit project.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

Common across GE DC2000/AC2000 drives and, in many cases, EX‑series exciters in metals processing, paper & converting, mining conveyors, oil & gas pumps/compressors, cranes/hoists, and large fans. A typical case is sporadic start‑permit drops or commutation alarms tied to drifting bridge feedback—replacing a DS200PCCAG5ACB usually stabilizes the firing path without touching PLC logic.

Advantages & Value for Procurement

• Reliability – Restores clean feedback and consistent firing, reducing nuisance trips and unplanned stops.
• Compatibility – G5 group board for DS200‑series cabinets; we verify group, revision letters, and cabinet type before shipment.
• Cost savings – Board‑level maintenance is typically far cheaper than a cabinet retrofit and shortens recommissioning.
• Predictable downtime – Drop‑in mechanics and labeled connectors keep the swap inside a tight maintenance window.
• Technical backup – Help with harness mapping, revision matching, and post‑swap checks to lower risk.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment – Clean, dry, ventilated enclosure. Keep ambient 0…55 °C; avoid condensation and conductive dust.
• Safety & isolation – Lockout/tagout, wait for DC bus discharge, and verify zero energy before handling.
• ESD handling – Use an antistatic wrist strap; handle by PCB edges and avoid touching pins.
• Harness seating – Mark positions, fully seat keyed connectors, and check PE/ground continuity and strain relief.
• Functional checks – After swap, verify permissives, run a controlled ramp, monitor alarms, and confirm firing synchronization.
• Routine care – Annual dust removal, connector inspection/re‑seating, and event‑log review; firmware tasks apply 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.
