DS3800XTFP1E1C
GE
Overview
The DS3800XTFP1E1C is a Thyristor Fan Out Board from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a thyristor fan out board, the DS3800XTFP1E1C 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 -30 to 55 degrees Celsius. 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 (-30 to 55 degrees Celsius); 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 DS3800XTFP1E1C, 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.

Specifications
About the DS3800XTFP1E1C The DS3800XTFP1E1C and other circuit boards in the Speedtronic Mark IV line by General Electric are used to control and run gas and steam turbines. A gas or steam turbine uses a large internal combustion engine to mix fuel and air to cause a contained explosion. This explosion creates a series of gases that are under a lot of pressure and force their way out of the engine causing the turbine to move at high speed generating a great deal of energy. The energy created by the moving turbine is then harnessed and used for a multitude of other purposes. The DS3800XTFP1E1C is a fan out card from General Electric for their Mark IV Speedtronic Line. A fan-out card has eight red plastic rectangles. Each rectangle has twelve circular ports. The rectangles are known as logic gates. The logic gates allow for a certain number of gate inputs to be connected directly without any additional wiring or interfacing circuitry. Each logic gate has its own letter labels reading JS, JT, JY, JX (Sense), JR, JQ, JP, JN (Sense). The part number (DS3800XTFP1E1C) is printed below the bottom set of logic gates. The DS3800XTFP1E1C has a small white plastic male terminal port with six metal prongs. The DS3800XTFP1E1C has four large pre-drilled holes in each corner and two small pre-drilled holes along the bottom edge to secure the DS3800XTFP1E1C in place. Part Number: DS3800XTFP1E1C Manufacturer: General Electric Series: Mark IV Product Type: Thyristor Fan Out Board
Specifications
| Input | Signal: 4-20 mA / 0-10 V DC |
|---|---|
| Output | Signal: 0-10 V DC |
| Power | Supply: 110-240 V AC / 24 V DC |
| Power | Regulation: The Thyristor Fan Out Board aids in regulating the power flow to different sections of the turbine, such as motors, generators, and other power systems. As the control signal is sent to the thyristors, it determines the power level to be supplied to these parts of the system. This ensures that each component receives the appropriate amount of power to maintain optimal performance, preventing overloads and ensuring efficient energy usage. |
