8915-046

Woodward 8915‑046 is a heavy‑duty 2301A Series digital speed and load controller, designed for diesel/gas engines, gas/steam turbines and generator sets. It delivers precise speed regulation, parallel operation control, load sharing and overspeed protection, suitable for power generation, marine, oil & gas and mining applications.

Description

Core Functions

  1. High‑precision closed‑loop speed control to stabilize frequency under variable‑load conditions

  2. Supports isochronous mode for single‑unit operation and droop mode for multi‑unit parallel running

  3. Grid synchronization, load distribution and remote setpoint via 4‑20 mA / 1‑5 VDC analog signals

  4. Built‑in overspeed protection, fault self‑diagnosis and alarm output functions

  5. Directly drives Woodward fuel actuators and turbine control valves

  6. Parameter configuration and monitoring using dedicated Woodward PC software
