GE DS200SVAAG1A Voltage Attenuator Card – Mark VI Speedtronic Turbine Control System
When a voltage attenuator card fails inside a gas turbine control cabinet, the consequences are immediate and severe: generator protection relays lose their reference signal, turbine speed feedback becomes unreliable, and the entire unit trips offline. In a combined-cycle power plant or a critical industrial co-generation facility, an unplanned outage of this nature can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour. The DS200SVAAG1A is the component that stands between normal operation and that scenario — it conditions and scales analog voltage signals before they reach the Mark VI controller’s I/O boards, ensuring every downstream protection and control decision is based on accurate, noise-free data.
Within GE’s DS200 I/O card family for the Mark VI Speedtronic turbine control platform, the DS200SVAAG1A occupies a specialized role: it handles high-level voltage attenuation tasks that standard analog input cards cannot perform without signal conditioning. The Mark VI platform itself is deployed across thousands of GE Frame 6B, 7E, 7F, 9E, and 9FA gas turbines worldwide, making this card one of the most operationally critical spare parts in the global power generation aftermarket.

Key Features & Benefits
- Precision voltage attenuation – Scales high-level generator terminal voltages down to the safe input range of Mark VI VAIC/VAOC boards, eliminating the risk of I/O board damage from over-voltage transients.
- Direct drop-in replacement – DS200SVAAG1ACB is the revision-B build of DS200SVAAG1A; both part numbers are functionally interchangeable in the same slot without firmware changes, reducing changeover time to under 15 minutes.
- Signal integrity under EMI – On-board filtering suppresses common-mode noise generated by large rotating machinery, maintaining measurement accuracy within ±0.5 % across the full operating temperature range.
- Extended service life design – Industrial-grade capacitors and resistors rated for 100,000+ hours MTBF, consistent with GE’s reliability targets for continuous-duty turbine control hardware.
- IEC 61511 SIL-capable architecture – The card’s signal path is designed to support the functional safety loop integrity required by IEC 61511 for turbine overspeed and over-voltage protection functions.
- Broad frame compatibility – Verified for use in GE Frame 6B, 7E, 7F, 9E, and 9FA turbine control panels, covering the majority of the installed Mark VI base globally.
Industry & Equipment Applications
- Power Generation – Gas Turbine Plants: Generator terminal voltage monitoring and protection in GE Frame 7FA and 9FA combined-cycle units; interfaces with generator protection relays (GE L90, SEL-300G) via the Mark VI VAIC board.
- Power Generation – Steam Turbine Plants: Auxiliary voltage signal conditioning in steam turbine control panels where Mark VI is used as the primary control platform.
- Oil & Gas – Offshore Platforms: Turbine-driven compressor control on FPSO vessels and fixed platforms; critical for maintaining generator availability in islanded power systems.
- Oil & Gas – LNG Terminals: Voltage feedback conditioning for gas turbine-driven refrigeration compressors (e.g., GE LM2500, LM6000 aero-derivative units adapted with Mark VI controls).
- Petrochemical – Refinery Utilities: Co-generation turbine control in refinery power islands where unplanned trips directly impact crude distillation unit throughput.
- Industrial Manufacturing – Steel Mills: Captive power plant turbine control; voltage attenuator cards in this environment must tolerate high ambient EMI from arc furnaces and rolling mill drives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is DS200SVAAG1ACB a direct replacement for DS200SVAAG1A in a Mark VI turbine control panel?
A: Yes. The suffix “CB” denotes a revision change in GE’s internal build process. Both part numbers are functionally identical and occupy the same card slot in the Mark VI I/O enclosure. No software or configuration changes are required when substituting one for the other.
Q: Can the DS200SVAAG1A be used in a Mark V Speedtronic system, or is it exclusive to Mark VI?
A: The DS200 card series was designed specifically for the Mark VI platform. Mark V uses a different card form factor and backplane (IS200 / DS3800 series). If you are maintaining a Mark V system, please contact us with your exact panel configuration and we will identify the correct equivalent.
