Features:
- Interface Between the Protection Module and Emergency Trip Solenoids
- Provides Emergency Overspeed Protection with Triple Redundant Architecture
- Operates in Conjunction with TREG and TRPG Terminal Boards in Mark VI Systems
The IS215VPROH2B operates as the Turbine Protection Board in the Mark VI protection module, providing reliable emergency trip functionality for gas turbine overspeed protection. It continuously monitors turbine speed through dedicated inputs and executes emergency shutdown commands by controlling up to three trip solenoids connected between TREG and TRPG terminal boards. TREG provides the positive side of 125 V DC to the solenoids while TRPG provides the negative side, and either board can independently trip the turbine. Seamless protection coverage is standard with the IS215VPROH2B, however using the triple redundant configuration with three separate VPRO boards (R8, S8, and T8) will allow continuous protection even if one board is powered down or replaced while the turbine is running. The IS215VPROH2B has made improvements in protection reliability over previous designs by incorporating complete electrical isolation between redundant channels within the protection module.
The IS215VPROH2B provides essential protection functions critical to turbine safety, and is a vital component of the emergency overspeed system, directly affecting the safe operation of the overall gas turbine control system. One to three IS215VPROH2B boards are deployed per protection module depending on the desired redundancy level. The IS215VPROH2B occupies a dedicated slot in the protection module and communicates through resident onboard communications rather than the VME backplane when installed in the protection rack.
For Triple Redundant Protection applications, the Mark VI System requires three IS215VPROH2B boards installed in the protection module. In addition to standard single board operation, the redundant configuration also performs independent voting logic. The IS215VPROH2B triple redundant system executes protection decisions using the relay control circuitry specified in the board design. Using this method, the protection system continually monitors the health of all three VPRO boards through diagnostic communications. If the system detects that one IS215VPROH2B board is no longer providing valid protection output, the remaining two boards maintain full overspeed protection capability, and diagnostic status is reported to the operator interface and controller event lists.
The IS215VPROH2B GE Turbine Protection Board may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Gas Turbines: Provides overspeed and exhaust over-temperature protection.
- Steam Turbines: Manages critical emergency trip functions and emergency stops.
- Independent Protection: Operates as part of a standalone module separate from the main turbine control system to ensure safety even if the primary controller fails.
- Storage Temperature: –40°C to +85°C.
- Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing or 10% to 95% non-condensing depending on the specific revision (e.g., H2BD).
- Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): Uses three redundant VPRO boards (Sections X, Y, and Z) to process signals simultaneously, ensuring a single point of failure does not trip the turbine or prevent a necessary trip.
- 2-out-of-3 (2oo3) Voting Logic: Controls 12 relays on the associated TREG terminal board to drive up to three trip solenoids based on voted input signals.
- Overspeed Monitoring: Utilizes dedicated magnetic speed pickups to monitor rotation and initiate emergency shutdowns if thresholds are exceeded.
- Input Monitoring: Features 9 thermocouple inputs for exhaust over-temperature protection and three analog current inputs for other critical parameters.
- Electrical Fault Protection: Includes built-in protection against overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, short-circuits, and ground faults.
- Real-time Diagnostics: Front-panel LEDs provide immediate status for power, communication, and trip status, while the IONet Ethernet port allows for detailed system interrogation.
