8440-1947

Woodward 8440‑1947 belongs to the LS‑5 / easYgen‑3000 series, a high‑end integrated generator set controller combining synchronization, load sharing and speed governing. It is mainly applied to diesel and gas‑powered generator sets, marine power stations and industrial distributed power stations. It supports multi‑unit parallel operation, grid synchronization, load sharing, protection and remote monitoring, and can coordinate up to 32 units. It serves as the core control unit for large‑scale power station systems.

Description

Core Functions

  1. Precise automatic grid synchronization, including check sync, dynamic sync and constant‑frequency sync for shock‑free paralleling.

  2. Multi‑unit load sharing and parallel control via high‑speed CAN bus.

  3. Dual protection for engine and generator: over/under‑voltage, over/under‑frequency, reverse power, ROCOF, overspeed, low oil pressure, high coolant temperature and other fault protections.

  4. Closed‑loop speed/frequency governing with isochronous and droop modes, compatible with ProAct series actuators.

  5. 8 programmable digital inputs and 6 relay outputs including dedicated outputs for circuit breaker closing/tripping.

  6. Event logging, runtime hour metering, remote monitoring & configuration, multi‑language HMI.

  7. Automatic transfer switch (ATS) function for mains‑generator switching, ideal for data centers, airports and large‑capacity marine power stations.
