Product Overview

The GE IS400JPDHG1A is a high – density power distribution board designed and manufactured by General Electric as a part of the Mark VIe series, playing a crucial role in distributed control management systems. This board is engineered to efficiently distribute power within industrial automation setups. Its core functionality is to provide 28 V DC power, which is essential for powering 24 Mark VIe I/O packs and 3 Ethernet switches from a 28 V DC supply. What makes the GE IS400JPDHG1A highly valuable is its ability to offer a space – saving solution for power distribution. In industrial environments where space is often at a premium, this board optimizes the distribution of power while taking up minimal room. It can also be daisy – chained with additional high – density power distribution boards (JPDHs) as needed, providing flexibility in expanding the power supply to more I/O packs.

Key Features and Benefits

The GE IS400JPDHG1A offers several notable features. Firstly, its high – density design allows for a large number of power outputs in a relatively small form factor. This is extremely beneficial in complex industrial systems where multiple I/O packs and Ethernet switches need to be powered. The board’s ability to handle a 28 V DC input and provide stable outputs for I/O packs and Ethernet switches ensures reliable operation of the connected components.

The use of positive temperature coefficient fuse devices for each I/O pack connector provides an added layer of protection. In case of abnormal current flow, these fuses can quickly react to prevent damage to the I/O packs, enhancing the overall reliability of the system. The option to daisy – chain additional JPDH boards is a significant advantage. It enables seamless expansion of the power distribution network as the industrial setup grows or evolves, without the need for a complete overhaul of the power system.

In terms of durability, the GE IS400JPDHG1A is designed to withstand a wide operating temperature range from – 30°C to 65°C. This makes it suitable for use in various industrial environments, whether it’s a cold storage facility or a hot manufacturing plant. The DIN – rail mounting feature simplifies installation, allowing for easy integration into existing industrial control panels.
