Overview

The GE IS215VPROH1BD is a specialized protection module designed for the Mark VI Speedtronic™ turbine control system, commonly used in power generation, oil & gas, and industrial manufacturing. This module plays a critical role in emergency shutdown and overspeed protection, ensuring the safe operation of turbines during fault conditions or abnormal operations.

Operating independently from the main control system, the IS215VPROH1BD features dual redundancy to eliminate single points of failure, ensuring system reliability in mission-critical environments. Additionally, it supports manual and software-initiated trip solenoid tests, allowing operators to validate system readiness during scheduled safety checks. Built with a rugged design and industrial-grade components, the module is well-suited for environments with high vibration and high temperatures, making it ideal for harsh industrial settings.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Steam and Gas Turbine Protection: Provides emergency shutdown and overspeed protection in utility-scale power plants.

• Oil & Gas Facilities: Ensures safe operation of compressors and turbines in upstream and midstream installations.

• Industrial Manufacturing: Protects rotating equipment in high-speed production environments.

• Wind Turbine Systems: Monitors performance and triggers emergency stops during fault conditions.

• Redundant Safety Architectures: Works alongside TPRO and TREG terminal boards to provide layered protection.

For example, operators use the IS215VPROH1BD to monitor turbine speed and conduct trip solenoid tests during quarterly safety checks. The hot-swap capability allows for maintenance without system shutdown, minimizing operational disruptions.
