Description
1. Product Title
GE IS220PTURH1A – Mark VIe Turbine Specific Primary Trip I/O Pack
2. Product Overview
The IS220PTURH1A is a high-reliability I/O pack designed by General Electric for the Mark VIe control system. Specifically categorized as a Turbine Specific Primary Trip module, its primary function is to interface with the turbine’s emergency trip system. It manages the critical signals required to safely shut down a gas or steam turbine by controlling the primary trip solenoids and monitoring speed inputs.
In industrial power generation, the IS220PTURH1A solves the challenge of high-speed safety execution. It provides a dedicated hardware path for emergency overspeed protection and trip logic that is independent of the general process control. This module is essential for protecting multi-million dollar turbine assets from catastrophic mechanical failure, ensuring that fuel or steam is cut off instantly when a trip condition is detected.

4. Key Features & Benefits
- Overspeed Logic at the Edge: The IS220PTURH1A calculates turbine speed and executes trip logic locally on the pack, ensuring a response time that is not dependent on the main controller’s scan cycle.
- TMR Reliability: When used in a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) set (R, S, and T), the system uses 2-out-of-3 voting to ensure that a single sensor or module failure does not cause a “nuisance trip” or fail to trip when required.
- Redundant IONet Ports: Dual Ethernet ports provide constant communication with the Mark VIe controllers, allowing for real-time monitoring of trip status and diagnostics even if one network cable is damaged.
- Comprehensive Self-Diagnostics: The module continuously monitors the health of its internal circuits and the integrity of the connected solenoid loops, alerting operators to faults before they become critical.
5. Application Scenarios
- Gas Turbine Primary Trip: The IS220PTURH1A is the standard interface for controlling the fuel stop valves on GE Frame 6, 7, and 9 gas turbines.
- Steam Turbine Emergency Protection: Deployed in steam power plants to monitor high-pressure steam valves and provide overspeed protection for the generator set.
- Mechanical Drive Turbines: Used in large-scale LNG or petrochemical compression trains where the turbine must be protected against sudden load losses.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What is the primary difference between the PTUR and other I/O packs?
- A: The IS220PTURH1A is specifically “turbine-rated” for safety; it includes specialized hardware for high-frequency speed sensing and high-current trip relay interfacing that general-purpose modules lack.
- Q: Does this module require a specific terminal board?
- A: Yes, it is typically mounted on a TTUR (Turbine Primary Trip) terminal board, which provides the physical connections for the MPUs and trip solenoids.
- Q: Is the IS220PTURH1A compatible with Mark VIeS (Safety) systems?
- A: Yes, it is a core component in both standard Mark VIe and Mark VIeS safety-certified configurations for turbine protection.
