GE IS215WETAH1BB | Mark VIe WETA Top Box Assembly

• Manufacturer: General Electric (GE)
• Part Number: IS215WETAH1BB
• Product Type: WETA + Top Box Board Assembly
• Functional Acronym: WETA
• System Family: GE Mark VIe Wind Turbine Control
• Related Assembly Identification: IS215WETAH1B is documented as a WETA and Top Box Board Assembly; some commercial records identify the complete IS215WETAH1BB assembly as comprising IS200WETAH1AEC + IS210BPPBH2CAA.
• PCB Construction: Conformal-coated assembly; the H1 designation is associated with conformal coating in published GE-board identification guidance.
• Approximate Dimensions: Public supplier records vary considerably. One listing reports approximately 173 × 112 × 13 mm for the board and another reports 160 × 160 × 120 mm for the assembly. Treat these as logistics estimates, not controlled mechanical drawings.
• Estimated Shipping Weight: Approximately 0.5–0.8 kg, depending on whether the figure applies to the PCB assembly or packed unit.
• What’s in the Box: WETA + Top Box board assembly. Matching cables, terminal hardware, manuals, software, or cabinet accessories should not be presumed included.

Product Introduction

The IS215WETAH1BB is identified as a GE WETA and Top Box board assembly associated with the Mark VIe Wind control platform. GE’s published part-family listings identify the related IS215WETAH1B as a “BOARD ASSEMBLY, WETA+TOPOBOX” under the Mark VIe-Wind catalog.

For replacement planning, the full suffix matters. Commercial technical records associate IS215WETAH1BB with the IS200WETAH1AEC + IS210BPPBH2CAA combination, so purchasing teams should compare the complete board marking and assembly configuration rather than matching only the shorter WETAH1B identifier.

Core Technical Specifications

The strongest available identification evidence describes IS215WETAH1B as a WETA Top Box A Board Assembly with a conformally coated PCB and functional revision B.

Global Compliance & Industry Certifications

Certification should be controlled at the exact hardware/configuration and shipment-lot level.

• CE Mark: Confirm against the applicable GE equipment documentation and conformity declaration.
• UL / cUL: Do not assume independent UL listing for the PCB merely because the complete control system may carry an applicable approval.
• ATEX / IECEx: No reliable evidence was established that IS215WETAH1BB itself carries independent hazardous-area certification. Installation certification must be evaluated at the system level.
• Marine approvals: DNV GL and other marine certifications require explicit documentary verification for the exact Mark VIe configuration.
• EMC: Published supplier material describes WETA-related hardware as intended for turbine-control environments, but a specific certificate should be retained rather than relying on marketing descriptions.

Verify specific lot certifications with OEM.

Long-Term Storage & Asset Preservation Guide

1. Preserve the conformal coating. Do not scrape, solvent-clean, or mechanically abrade coated PCB surfaces during warehouse inspection. The coating is part of the assembly’s environmental protection scheme.
2. Keep the assembly inside ESD-safe packaging. Store the board in its original static-protective packaging whenever possible, away from conductive debris and uncontrolled humidity.
3. Inspect connectors before installation. Look for oxidation, contamination, coating damage, bent contacts, and evidence of moisture ingress. For long-held turbine spares, document photographs, serial/date information, and packaging condition before issuing the component.

Physical Installation Prerequisites

• Verify the replacement against the , not simply IS215WETAH1B.
• Confirm the existing cabinet/rack uses the corresponding Mark VIe Wind WETA/Top Box architecture.
• Compare the removed assembly against the replacement for connector placement, mounting geometry, hardware revision, and board markings.
• Protect the conformal-coated PCB from mechanical abrasion during insertion and removal.
• Use an ESD-controlled work area and proper wrist/grounding procedures.
• Inspect mating connectors and cabinet wiring before energization.
• Confirm cabinet airflow and operating environment. One published listing gives an operating range of approximately −30°C to +65°C for the related IS215WETAH1B assembly, but this should not replace the site-approved GE environmental specification.
• Preserve the removed board’s serial number, revision marking, and application configuration in the maintenance record.
• Do not assume another WETA revision is a drop-in substitute merely because its mechanical form appears similar.

Buyer’s FAQ

Q: What HS tariff code should be used for ?
A: Commercial records commonly quote 85389091 or other control-equipment classifications, but these are supplier declarations rather than binding customs rulings. The final HS classification should be confirmed using the board’s technical function, importing country’s tariff schedule, and broker determination.

Q: What is the country of origin?
A: Published commercial records identify the origin as the United States, but the actual shipment should be supported by a Certificate of Origin or manufacturer/supplier traceability record for the specific unit.

Q: Should shipping insurance be purchased?
A: For a high-value turbine-control spare, yes. Record serial number, part number, revision, declared value, packed dimensions, and pre-shipment photographs so the shipment is fully traceable.

Q: Does arrive with the latest firmware pre-loaded?
A: Do not assume firmware or application configuration is pre-loaded. This is a board assembly rather than a generic plug-and-play PLC module, and replacement validation should be performed against the site’s approved Mark VIe configuration and software baseline before commissioning.
