9987-814

Woodward 9987‑814 is a classic 2301A series analog speed governor & real‑kW load‑sharing controller, widely used for diesel/gas engine‑driven generator sets. It is the industry‑standard unit for multi‑genset parallel operation, providing precise speed regulation, isochronous load sharing, overspeed protection and idle‑to‑rated speed switching functions.

Description

Core Functions

  1. Dual speed control modes: isochronous (constant‑speed) for single‑unit operation; droop control for parallel gensets.

  2. Real kW‑based load sharing, ensuring balanced power output among multiple paralleled generator sets.

  3. Built‑in overspeed protection, startup ramp, actuator stroke limit and torque limiting functions.

  4. Supports idle‑rated speed switching, 4‑20 mA remote setpoint input for DCS/PLC speed adjustment.

  5. Forward‑acting control logic, compatible with standard proportional electric/hydraulic actuators.
