GE Mark VI IS200VTURH1BAC Primary Turbine Protection Board

Description

The IS200VTURH1BAC is a specialized Primary Turbine Protection module designed for the GE Speedtronic Mark VI Turbine Control System. Functioning as the core VTUR board, it provides high-integrity monitoring and trip logic for large-scale utility turbines in power generation and heavy industrial applications. The board executes critical safety functions, including primary overspeed detection via passive pulse rate devices, shaft voltage/current monitoring, and automatic generator synchronization. By integrating emergency trip solenoid control with precision speed sensing, this module is essential for preventing catastrophic turbine failure and minimizing unscheduled downtime in high-stakes environments like thermal power plants and petrochemical facilities.

Features

• Supports seamless integration with TRPG, TRPL, TREG, and TRPS terminal boards for signal distribution and solenoid driving.
• Utilizes four passive pulse rate inputs to monitor turbine rotation for primary overspeed trip execution.
• Includes hardware-level logic for automatic generator synchronizing and circuit breaker control.
• Features dual-threshold contact voltage sensing (20 VDC HI / 6 VDC LO) for signal reliability in industrial electrical environments.
• Dedicated hardware channels for emergency trip solenoid control.

Applications

This module is specifically engineered for use within the GE Mark VI Speedtronic control architecture. It is typically deployed in power generation facilities, thermal power plants, and large-scale petrochemical processing plants where turbine overspeed protection and precise synchronization are mission-critical requirements.
