8290-195

The Woodward 8290‑195 is a 2301D Digital Speed & Load Sharing Controller belonging to the 8290 series. It is specially engineered for diesel‑ and gas‑engine‑driven generator sets, gas turbines and industrial prime movers. This controller delivers high‑precision speed regulation, multi‑unit parallel load sharing, overspeed protection and comprehensive fault monitoring. Designed for harsh marine, oil‑gas, power plant and heavy‑duty industrial environments, it features high reliability, strong anti‑interference capability and wide‑temperature performance.

Description

Key Functions

  1. Dual control modes: isochronous control for single‑unit stable operation; droop control for parallel genset load sharing

  2. High‑accuracy closed‑loop speed control with fast response to sudden load changes

  3. Synchronization and soft‑loading control for grid‑connected power generation

  4. Built‑in overspeed, underspeed, stall protection and self‑diagnostic alarms

  5. Parameter configuration via PC software or handheld programmer

  6. Remote speed setpoint via 4‑20 mA analog input

  7. Multiple digital I/O for alarm signals, interlocks and status indication
