Features:
- Provides the TCTS simplex trip-board arrangement for Mark V medium-steam turbines.
- Keeps ETD1 and ETD2 electromechanical trip-device circuits on separate relay paths.
- Uses three-channel voltage feedback to distinguish common output faults from one-channel detection faults.
The medium-steam assignment separates this board from the gas-turbine and large-steam TCTx arrangements, whose trip outputs and hardware roles differ.
Each ETD circuit combines an emergency relay branch with its corresponding primary relay branch before the signal reaches PTBA and the field trip device.
Loopback comparison adds diagnostic context: an intended trip command may be correct even when the measured solenoid voltage shows a problem in the common output chain.

Medium-Steam DS200TCTSG1A Arrangement
- Turbine class: TCTS is the trip-board form assigned to the Mark V medium-steam application.
- Simplex structure: DS200TCTSG1A uses one common board assembly rather than the gas-turbine or large-steam TCTx arrangement.
- Field interface: PTBA carries generator-panel contacts, trip contacts, and solenoid outputs between the board and site wiring.
- Paired outputs: ETD1 and ETD2 remain separate from their relay logic through to the final trip-device circuits.
ETD Relay Paths on DS200TCTSG1A
- ETD1 emergency branch: ETR1 and KE1 form the emergency relay portion of the first trip-device path.
- ETD1 primary branch: PTR1 and KP1 provide the corresponding primary relay portion.
- ETD2 branches: ETR2/KE2 and PTR2/KP2 repeat the two-branch structure for the second trip device.
- Path separation: Distinct relay combinations allow an ETD1 fault to be evaluated without treating ETD2 as the same circuit.
DS200TCTSG1A Common and Field Routes
- J7W path: Supplies the common board power associated with the medium-steam trip chain.
- PTBA inputs: Generator-panel and trip contacts enter the protective arrangement through the terminal assembly.
- PTBA outputs: ETD1 and ETD2 solenoid circuits leave the board through their assigned field terminals.
- Feedback route: Actual trip-device voltage returns for comparison with the intended relay state.
Interpreting DS200TCTSG1A Loopback Results
- Three-channel alarm: The same discrepancy on all protection channels points toward the common board, J7W supply, or PTBA output path.
- One-channel alarm: A discrepancy confined to one channel belongs to that channel's detection circuit or cable.
- Valid command: Correct relay intent with incorrect measured voltage shifts attention from the command source to contacts, terminals, or the field load.
- Output proof: ETD1 and ETD2 should be checked separately from command state through actual solenoid-voltage feedback.
