8234-346A

WOODWARD 8234‑346A is a 723 Digital Synchronizer & Load‑Sharing Controller (part of the 8234 series power management modules), a core unit for generator set grid‑connection synchronization and multi‑unit parallel load sharing. It matches generator frequency, phase and voltage precisely, works with speed governors and AVRs to realize stable parallel operation of diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbine‑driven gensets, widely used in power plants, industrial power stations and marine power systems.

Description

Key Features

  • Integrates automatic synchronization, real‑power load sharing, speed/voltage bias adjustment three core functions

  • Precise three‑parameter matching (frequency‑phase‑voltage), outputs bias signals to governor and AVR for seamless grid paralleling

  • High‑accuracy load‑sharing algorithm, ensures balanced power distribution among paralleled generators

  • Built‑in comprehensive protections: reverse power, over/under frequency, over/under voltage, synchronization failure alarm

  • Supports RS‑485 Modbus RTU communication for remote monitoring and parameter configuration

  • Industrial‑grade anti‑EMI, anti‑vibration and wide‑temperature design, meets marine and harsh‑environment requirements

  • Compact panel‑mount structure, easy installation and wiring
