8230-896

WOODWARD 8230‑896 is a 2301D Digital Speed Governor, Synchronizer & Load‑Sharing Controller belonging to Woodward’s classic 2301 series. It is designed for prime movers such as diesel engines, gas engines, steam turbines and gas turbines, integrating speed regulation, automatic synchronization, real‑power load sharing and parallel‑running protection for generator sets in power stations, industrial power systems and marine applications.

Description

Key Features

  • Two control modes: isochronous (zero‑droop) for single‑machine constant‑speed control; droop mode for multi‑unit parallel load balancing

  • Accepts magnetic pickup (MPU) speed signal (1–30 V AC), supports 4‑20mA/1‑5VDC remote speed/load setting input

  • Precise real‑power load‑sharing algorithm, stable power distribution among paralleled gensets

  • Built‑in protections: overspeed, reverse power, over/under frequency, over/under voltage

  • Simple front‑panel potentiometer adjustment, no complex software configuration; compatible with Woodward actuator drive systems

  • Rugged metal‑chassis industrial design, strong anti‑EMI, anti‑vibration performance
