Description

Woodward 2301A

Technical Specifications

  • Brand: Woodward
  • Product Type: Digital Governor / Load Controller
  • Series: 2301A

Functional Features

  • Base Load Control: Allows the engine to carry a specific, fixed electrical load.
  • Load Sharing: Distributes load proportionally among multiple paralleled generators.
  • Soft Loading: Smoothly adds or removes generators from the bus without power surges.

Application Scenarios
Widely used in marine power plants, industrial backup power, and peak-shaving generator applications.

Performance Parameters

  • Accuracy: Tight speed and load matching tolerances.
  • Resolution: High-resolution output for smooth actuator movement.

Material Composition
Robust industrial electronics with protective conformal coatings against moisture and dust.

Structural Characteristics
Standard MicroNet-compatible chassis with front-panel status indicators and rear I/O connectors.

Working Principle
Continuously compares actual engine speed and load against setpoints, adjusting the actuator output to eliminate any deviation.

Installation Requirements
Ensure proper grounding of the controller chassis. Wire speed sensors according to the manual to ensure accurate RPM reading.

Usage Precautions
Never operate the engine without verifying the actuator and feedback loop are functioning correctly.
