The GE IC3600AVIC1 is a voltage isolator control board designed primarily for industrial automation and control systems where electrical isolation of analog signals is critical. It is widely applied in process industries including manufacturing, power plants, and oil & gas where sensitive signal integrity and noise reduction are necessary to ensure accurate measurement and control. This device interfaces between field sensors and control system inputs, isolating voltage signals to prevent ground loops, reduce electrical noise, and protect sensitive equipment, making it especially useful in large-scale plants with complex electrical environments.
Functionally, the GE IC3600AVIC1 acts as an isolator module that converts and isolates voltage input signals before transmission to the control system’s analog input cards or PLC modules. It enhances signal quality and reliability by electrically separating the input side from the control side. This isolation helps maintain signal fidelity in noisy industrial environments and prevents damage from transient voltages or grounding issues. The module supports a variety of industrial voltage ranges, with filtering options to minimize noise interference and ensure precise signal conditioning.
Technically, the GE IC3600AVIC1 features robust input voltage isolation, supporting voltage ranges typically spanning from ±10 V to 0–10 V. It provides galvanic isolation in the range of several kilovolts (typically in the 1500 Vac to 3000 Vac range), ensuring strong protection between input and output circuits. The module is compact and designed for mounting inside standard GE control racks or cabinets, fitting easily within distributed control and PLC system architectures. Its electrical specifications include high input impedance, configurable low-pass filtering for noise reduction, and stable performance across standard industrial temperature ranges. The terminal block connectors allow secure wiring and straightforward maintenance access.
