WOODWARD 8440-1925-E Genset Controller

Overview

WOODWARD 8440-1925-E is an easYgen-3200 series generator set controller manufactured by Woodward, designed for single genset and multi-unit parallel operation, automatic synchronization, load sharing and power management. It integrates engine control, generator protection, metering and HMI display in one front-panel mounted unit. It supports emergency backup power, utility paralleling, ATS logic and custom programmable logic via LogicsManager function. It is widely used in industrial, marine and offshore power generation systems. This variant is obsolete and no longer in active production, supplied as spare stock for existing easYgen-3200 installations.

Features

WOODWARD 8440-1925-E adopts a built-in graphical display and keypad for local setup and monitoring. The Genset Controller provides full electrical protection including overvoltage, undervoltage, overfrequency, underfrequency, overcurrent, reverse power and engine protection such as overspeed, high temperature and low oil pressure. It supports multiple communication protocols including Modbus, CAN J1939 and CANopen for engine ECU and SCADA connection. It enables automatic synchronizing, load sharing and base load control, and records event logs and fault history with timestamp. It complies with CE, UL and marine EMC requirements for power generation equipment. WOODWARD 8440-1925-E works with current transformers, voltage transformers and engine sensors to form a complete genset control system.

Specs

WOODWARD 8440-1925-E genset controller. The Genset Controller part number: 8440-1925-E. Series: Woodward easYgen-3200. Function: genset auto start, synchronization, load sharing, protection, power monitoring. Supply voltage: 24 VDC. Communication: Modbus, CAN J1939, CANopen. Mounting: front panel cutout mounting. Lifecycle: discontinued, aftermarket spare. It is stocked as generator control spare.

Operating Parameters

WOODWARD 8440-1925-E ambient operating temperature: -20℃ ~ +60℃. The Genset Controller relative humidity: 5%~95% non-condensing. Protection class: IP54 front panel, IP20 rear side. EMC: comply with IEC 61000 and marine power generation standards.

Principle

WOODWARD 8440-1925-E continuously measures generator voltage, current, frequency and engine parameters. The Genset Controller executes speed and voltage regulation logic, closes the breaker when synchronization conditions are met and distributes load among parallel sets. It triggers alarm or shutdown when readings exceed safety thresholds, and uploads real-time data and fault records to upper monitoring systems. Power supply failure, measurement circuit damage or internal processor fault will cause WOODWARD 8440-1925-E to lose genset control and protection functions.

Applications

WOODWARD 8440-1925-E is widely deployed in factory backup power plants, data center power rooms, marine generator rooms and offshore platform power systems. The Genset Controller manages emergency generators, grid parallel operation and load management, cooperating with breakers, engine governors and monitoring systems. WOODWARD 8440-1925-E is a preferred spare for legacy easYgen-3200 genset control panel maintenance and replacement.
