GE IC3600SIXJ1C1B Power Supply Selector Control Card

The GE IC3600SIXJ1C1B is a Power Supply Selector Control Card designed for the GE Speedtronic Mark I and Mark II turbine control systems. It is a printed circuit board (PCB) used to manage power source selection within the control system, providing the selection and routing function required by the legacy power supply architecture.

Functional Description

The IC3600SIXJ1C1B performs a power supply selection function within the Speedtronic control architecture. It provides the control interface for selecting and routing power sources to the associated control circuitry.

As a dedicated selector card, it is distinct from a general-purpose power supply module. Its role is associated with power source selection rather than directly generating the system's operating supply voltage.

Board Construction and Identification

The IC3600SIXJ1C1B is a PCB assembly with identifiable electrical and mechanical components. Available product references describe the board as having a selector switch assembly and discrete electronic components.

When identifying a replacement, check the complete part number, including the C1B suffix, against the installed board. Similar IC3600-series cards may have different control functions and should not be treated as interchangeable solely because they share the same product family.

Technical Specifications

System Application

The IC3600SIXJ1C1B belongs to the early GE Speedtronic turbine control hardware family. It is intended for installations retaining the corresponding Mark I or Mark II control architecture.

For maintenance and replacement procurement, matching the complete board number is important. The installed rack configuration and existing control system should also be checked before selecting a replacement.
