Description
The GE DS200VPBLG1A VME Backplane Board is a foundational component in the Load Commutator Inverter (LCI) Control System, providing structured signal and power distribution across the J2 and J3 sections of the equipment’s card cage. It supports multiple control and feedback boards, including DSPC, FCGD, and exciter modules, while enabling external connections for current transformers (CTs) and voltage scaling feedback. The board also facilitates grounding schemes and power delivery via stab connectors in the J3 area.
