8915-712

Woodward 8915‑712 is a robust 2301A Series digital speed and load controller, engineered for diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbines and generator sets. It offers high‑precision speed governing, multi‑unit parallel operation, load sharing and overspeed protection, widely applied in power generation, marine, oil & gas, chemical and mining heavy‑duty industrial environments.

Description

Core Functions

  1. High‑precision closed‑loop speed control to maintain stable frequency under load changes

  2. Isochronous control for single‑unit operation; droop control for multi‑unit parallel running

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

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

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

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