8280-419

Product Overview Woodward 8280‑419 is the high‑voltage DC‑powered standalone MSLC synchronizer module, matching low‑voltage model 8280‑418. It provides independent generator‑to‑busbar synchronization, phase/frequency/voltage matching and circuit‑breaker closing control, paired with DSLC speed controllers for genset paralleling. It has no system‑level load‑management function, only dedicated synchronization, used in power stations, marine power systems and offshore oil‑gas platforms.
