DS200FSAAG2ABA
GE
Overview
The DS200FSAAG2ABA is a Field Supply Amplifier Board from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a field supply amplifier board, the DS200FSAAG2ABA is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.
Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 0 to 50° C. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (0 to 50° C); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the DS200FSAAG2ABA, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION: DS200FSAAG2A is a Field Supply Gate Amplifier Board manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark V Series used in GE Drive Control systems. There are 5 jumpers, a 10-pin connector, 2 fuses, and more on the GE Field Supply Amplifier Board. It is also filled with a variety of test points. A 10-pin terminal connector is present. It has parts that take in a signal and amplify it by sending it through a transistor, integrated circuit (IC), or tube that combines it with more current from a power source. The external field exciter modules include incoming line fuses, metal-oxide varistor (MQV) voltage suppressors, ac and de-line jilters, a thyristor bridge, and a DS200FSAA Field Supply Gate Amplifier Board (FSAA). The FEAN module also includes a cooling fan.
FEATURES: Power Supply and Current Control: Field power is supplied through fuses on the SDCIG1 board or the external field exciter module. A thyristor diode bridge (on the SDCIG1) or thyristor bridge (in the external field exciter module) controls the field current. The SDCI or DCFB decodes Held Ering signals from the SDCC to direct firing pulses to gate pulse transformer drivers for the thyristors in the bridge.
Voltage and Frequency Conversion: The field power is applied through a shunt. A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit on the SDCI or DCFB board converts the voltage across the shunt into a frequency signal representing field current. The frequency signal is sent to the SDCC card, which controls the phase angle of the thyristor firing.
SCR Power Conversion Bridge: The SCR power conversion bridge receives 3-phase power. G, C, and C Extension (CX) frame drives include fuses FU1, FU2, and FU3 on the incoming ac power lines. J, K, L, and M frame drives include fuses FU1 through FUI2 on the deleg lines.
SCR Bridge Configuration: The SCR bridge is made up of SCR modules, sized for the drive's current rating. The hardware drawings and elementary diagrams included in the appendices show the SCR bridges for each frame size.
