8915-075

Woodward 8915‑075 is a robust 2301A Series digital electronic speed and load controller, developed for diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbines and generator sets. It provides high‑accuracy speed regulation, parallel operation, load sharing and overspeed protection, widely used in power generation, marine, oil & gas and heavy‑duty industrial fields.

Description

Core Functions

  1. High‑precision closed‑loop speed control to keep stable frequency under fluctuating loads

  2. Supports isochronous control for single‑unit gensets and droop control for multi‑unit parallel running

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

  4. Integrated overspeed protection, self‑diagnosis and fault alarm outputs

  5. Direct drive for Woodward fuel actuators and turbine control valves

  6. Parameter tuning, commissioning and monitoring by dedicated Woodward configuration software
