8280-467

Product Overview Woodward 8280‑467 is the high‑voltage DC powered MSLC (Master Synchronizer Load Controller) of the 723PLUS series, counterpart to low‑voltage 8280‑466. It performs automatic generator synchronization, voltage/frequency matching, breaker closing control and system‑level real‑kW load coordination with DSLC speed controllers. Used for multi‑genset parallel power systems in power plants, marine vessels, offshore oil‑gas platforms and heavy‑duty industrial sites.

Description
