Description
GE 362A3342P002 — Flame Detector Cable Assembly
Product Overview
The GE 362A3342P002 is a two-wire flame detector cable assembly used to connect compatible flame-sensing equipment to the associated gas-turbine monitoring system. Within a turbine control architecture, the cable carries the electrical connection required by the flame detector; it does not perform flame sensing or replace the detector itself. Maintaining this connection is important because the control system uses flame-status information as part of combustion monitoring and associated protection logic. The cable must therefore be matched to the specified sensor, connector arrangement, and equipment installation rather than selected solely by conductor count.
The GE 362A3342P002 is documented as an 18.1 m (60 ft) cable with a prefabricated molded connector. The associated Reuter-Stokes reference RS-E2-0285P011 identifies a 60-foot straight-connector cable variant, while the related NED-GEAC606 family distinguishes 40-, 60-, 80-, and 100-foot lengths. The referenced flame-sensor documentation specifies a shielded cable, an 18–30 VDC operating range, and a temperature range of −40°C to +140°C. These values should be checked against the documentation applicable to the actual installed assembly, particularly where the cable is routed near hot turbine components or through areas with elevated ambient temperatures.
For maintenance and procurement teams, the GE 362A3342P002 should be ordered using the complete part number and verified connector style. Supplier records disagree on which older GE part number is superseded, so replacement equivalence should not be assumed from a reseller description alone. Before installation, inspect the cable jacket and molded connector for cracking, heat damage, contamination, or mechanical stress. Verify continuity and insulation condition using the approved procedure, maintain the specified routing and support, and confirm that the flame-monitoring system operates correctly after replacement. A generic two-wire cable is not an acceptable substitute unless its electrical, shielding, temperature, connector, and equipment-approval requirements have been established.
Product Introduction — Practical Field Focus
The 362A3342P002 is intended for flame-monitoring installations where the required cable length is approximately 60 feet and the mating connector matches the specified detector assembly. The connector configuration and temperature limits are key selection criteria, especially in turbine compartments where heat exposure and vibration can accelerate cable deterioration.
Before ordering, compare the existing cable label and connector with the equipment drawing. After replacement, complete the prescribed electrical checks and the turbine manufacturer’s flame-detection functional test before returning the equipment to service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is GE 362A3342P002?
It is a two-wire CableSIC flame detector cable assembly used to connect compatible flame-sensing equipment in gas-turbine monitoring systems.
Q2. How long is this cable?
The documented length is 18.1 m (60 ft). Confirm the installed cable label and routing requirements before ordering.
Q3. What are the reported voltage and temperature ranges?
The referenced flame-sensor documentation specifies 18–30 VDC and −40°C to +140°C. Confirm these ratings against the exact assembly documentation and installation conditions.
Q4. Is 362A3342P002 equivalent to Reuter-Stokes RS-E2-0285P011?
The technical cross-reference associates RS-E2-0285P011 with GE 362A3342P002. Verify the connector orientation and complete assembly designation against the installed equipment before substitution.
Q5. Which older GE part number does it replace?
Supplier listings identify 362A1053P104 as a replacement reference, while other records associate 362A3342P002 with 362A1053P031. Because these records conflict, obtain confirmation from the applicable equipment documentation or an authorized technical source.
Q6. Can a generic two-wire cable be used?
Not without engineering approval. The replacement must meet the required voltage, temperature, shielding, connector, and flame-monitoring system requirements.
Q7. What should be inspected before installation?
Check the full part number, connector molding, cable jacket, evidence of heat damage, continuity, and insulation condition. Follow the approved turbine maintenance procedure for electrical testing.
Q8. What should procurement request from the supplier?
Request photographs of the actual label and connector, confirmation of cable length and ratings, the exact cross-reference, condition status, available inspection records, and warranty terms.
