The WOODWARD 2301A 9907-018 Rev H is a robust electronic control unit designed for precise speed control and load sharing of engines and turbines. This specific revision is engineered for high-reliability applications, providing a stable interface for managing proportional or isochronous control in power generation and industrial mechanical drives.

 

Product Overview

The 2301A series is a global standard for managing prime movers. It monitors engine speed and maintains it at a set point by controlling the fuel actuator. In multi-generator setups, the 9907-018 model excels at proportional load sharing, ensuring each unit carries its designated share of the total electrical load. Its rugged construction makes it suitable for environments with high vibration and varying temperatures.

 

Technical Datasheet & Parameters

 

Country of Origin

The WOODWARD 2301A 9907-018 is designed and manufactured in the USA.

Application Fields

• Power Generation: Synchronizing and load sharing for diesel or gas generator sets.
• Marine Propulsion: Constant speed control for main engines and auxiliary power.
• Pump Stations: Maintaining consistent flow rates in industrial fluid transport.
• Compressor Drives: Precise RPM management for gas or air compression.
• Emergency Standby: Rapid response speed governing for backup power systems.

 

Technical Description

The 9907-018 Rev H operates on a 24V DC platform and features an analog circuit design for instantaneous response to load changes. It includes built-in protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and power surges. The unit provides adjustable droop and gain settings, allowing technicians to fine-tune the dynamic response of the engine. Its load-sensing circuitry integrates seamlessly with external CTs and PTs to monitor real-time kilowatt output.

 

Usage Instructions

1. Mounting: Install the chassis in a vibration-dampened control cabinet. Ensure the orientation allows for easy access to the potentiometers.
2. Wiring: Connect the magnetic pickup (MPU) using shielded twisted-pair wire to prevent signal noise. Ensure the actuator leads are sized correctly for the 200mA current.
3. Calibration: Use the “Rated Speed” potentiometer to set the base RPM. Adjust the “Gain” and “Stability” settings while the engine is running to eliminate hunting or sluggish response.
4. Load Sharing: Connect the load-sharing lines (parallel lines) between all 2301A units in the system to enable proportional distribution.
5. Safety: Always verify that the overspeed protection system is independent of the 2301A control for redundant safety.
