8280-413

Product Overview Woodward 8280‑413 is the high‑voltage powered 723PLUS digital speed & real‑kW load‑sharing controller (DSLC‑compatible) for diesel/gas/dual‑fuel reciprocating engines. It provides precision speed regulation, genset synchronization, real‑kW parallel load sharing, and comprehensive engine protection, designed for power generation, marine propulsion, gas compression and heavy‑duty industrial prime‑mover systems. It is the high‑voltage counterpart of the low‑voltage 8280‑412 model.

Description

Key Features

  1. High‑voltage wide‑range DC power supply: 90–150 VDC (nominal 125 VDC)

  2. Dual independent magnetic pickup (MPU)/proximity switch speed inputs, anti‑torsional‑vibration design

  3. Integrated DSLC real‑kW load‑sharing & synchronization for multi‑genset parallel operation

  4. Dual LON bus channels: DSLC load‑sharing network + LINKnet I/O node communication
