Mark VIe control system. The module is a high-availability 125 V DC power distribution
hub for system boards. The component delivers a robust and reliable solution for power
distribution in demanding applications. Its advanced features, flexible configuration
options, and comprehensive monitoring capabilities make it a valuable asset for ensuring
system stability and optimal performance.
Features
The module is engineered to accommodate multiple 125 V DC inputs, a design
feature that ensures uninterrupted operation even in the event of a power source
failure. By embracing redundancy, this capability significantly bolsters system
reliability and uptime, effectively mitigating the risk of operational disruptions.
This module prioritizes safety and simplifies ground fault detection processes by
adopting a non-grounded DC bus configuration. By eliminating shock hazards and
streamlining fault identification, this innovative approach fosters a safer operating
environment for both personnel and equipment, enhancing overall operational
safety.
Equipped with both switched and non-switched fused outputs, the module facilitates
customized power distribution to various system boards. This versatility enables
optimized power utilization and accommodates diverse load requirements, thereby
enhancing overall system efficiency and performance.

Seamless integration with modules empowers efficient AC-to-DC conversion,
offering unparalleled flexibility in power sourcing. This integration enables the
utilization of both AC and DC power sources as required, thereby enhancing system
adaptability and resilience to dynamic operational demands.
Through redundant inputs, multiple fused outputs, and comprehensive monitoring
mechanisms, this module ensures exceptional system uptime. By minimizing
operational disruptions and guaranteeing consistent power availability, this feature
reinforces system reliability and performance under varying operational conditions.
By establishing a connection with an I/O pack, the module enables real-time
monitoring of critical parameters such as bus voltage, ground faults, and excessive
AC voltage on the DC bus. This detailed feedback mechanism empowers proactive
maintenance strategies, minimizing downtime and optimizing overall system
performance.
With its floating DC bus and non-hazardous voltage rating, the module cultivates a
safe operating environment. This feature underscores the module's commitment to
enhancing safety within the control system environment by mitigating electrical risks
and providing robust protection for both personnel and equipment.
Installation Procedure
Secure Mounting: Begin by locating the dedicated PDM cabinet. Inside, identify
the designated metal back base. Securely mount the module in an upright position
on this base, ensuring stability and minimizing potential vibrations.
Grounding for Safety: Establish a reliable connection between the sheet metal
and the system's protective earth (PE) terminal. This crucial step ensures proper
grounding and protects against electrical faults.
Power Input Options: Locate the designated terminals DCHI and DCLO for your
125V DC battery power. Connect the battery leads carefully, adhering to the correct
polarity.
Integrating DACA Modules (Optional): If your system utilizes one or two DACA
modules for AC-DC conversion, connect them to the JPDF board through their
respective connectors, JZ2 and JZ3.
Output Circuit Connections: Provides various output circuits for powering different
system components. Consult the overall system's technical specifications to identify
the designated connections for each circuit. Ensure correct polarity and voltage
compatibility during wiring.
PPDA Connectivity (Optional): For systems equipped with a PPDA power
diagnostic I/O pack, a 50-pin ribbon cable is required. Connect one end of the cable
to the JPDF connector P1 and the other end to the P2 connector on the board
holding the PPDA unit. This connection, if applicable, may be routed through other
core PDM boards using the designated P2 connector path. Ensure optimal cable
routing for signal integrity.
Operation
2/4
DC battery power is applied to DCHI and DCLO terminals. It then goes through a 30
A DC circuit breaker into a filter assembly located under the IS200JPDF circuit
board. Filtered output is then passed through a series diode to the JPDF circuit
board.
Ac power is applied to the JAF1 connector. The 115/230 V ac is routed to two
connectors, JZ2 and JZ3, and out to two DACA modules. The DACA modules
convert the AC power to 125 V DC. The DC power returns to JPDF through the
same JZ2 and JZ3 connectors and is combined with battery power.
Grounding Features
Mark VIe systems divide the ground into a protective earth (PE) and a functional
earth (FE). The PE ground must be connected to an appropriate earth connection
by all local standards.
The minimum grounding must be capable of carrying 60 A for 60 seconds with no
more than a 10-volt drop. The FE ground system must be bonded to the PE ground
system at one point. The JPDF is grounded through metal mounting supports
fastened to the underlying sheet metal of a metal module. The ground is applied to
the metal switch bodies on JPDF. Additionally, the ground is used as a local
reference point when creating the feedback signals appearing on P2.
The sheet metal of the module is insulated to the surface upon which it is mounted.
This is done specifically to allow the definition of the JPDF ground independent of
the mounting surface. Typically, JPDF is mounted to a back base grounded to FE.
JPDF would be located low in the cabinet, and a separate ground wire from the
JPDF module would be provided to PE. The minimum length of the ground wire is
important to keep impedance low at radio frequencies, allowing the input line filters
to function properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IS200JPDFG1ACA?
It is a power distribution module developed by GE under the Mark VIe series.
Which connector should be used to power TBCI boards when powered by JPDF?
TBCI boards should use connector J12 with a JPDD fan-out board. This connector
provides a coordinated 44 ohm source impedance that matches the circuit ratings of TBCI
boards.
Which connector should be used to power the TRPG/TREG board pair?
The TRPG/TREG board pair, being critical to system operation, should be powered by the
dedicated J7 connector.
When should JP1 be used?
Use JP1 if JPDF is providing bus voltage-centering resistors for ground fault detection.
