The Woodward 9907-166 R is a 505E digital governor designed for steam-turbine control applications. The 505E family provides microprocessor-based control of steam turbines and is designed to manage turbine speed, load, and related operating functions. The 9907-166 R version is associated with a 125 VDC power supply configuration and is intended for integration with compatible turbine control and plant systems. It can support applications requiring precise speed and load regulation, extraction or admission control depending on the configured 505E model, and communication with external plant-control equipment. The exact I/O and control configuration should be matched to the installed turbine system before replacement.
