Product Description

The 8273-128 is a high-precision digital load sharing and speed governing module from Woodward’s 2301A series. It is purpose-built for multi-generator synchronization, proportional load distribution, and stable frequency control under varying load conditions.

Housed in a rugged metal chassis, it withstands high vibration, temperature extremes, and EMI typical of industrial and marine engine rooms. The module supports isochronous or droop control, making it ideal for grid-parallel or multi-engine setups.

Application Scenarios

  • Marine propulsion engines

  • Offshore drilling generator sets

  • Remote or distributed power stations

  • Multi-engine or grid-parallel power generation

The 8273-128 ensures smooth load transitions, prevents frequency hunting, and maintains stable operation in mission-critical environments.


Technical FAQ

Can this module work with third-party actuators?

  • Yes, it supports Woodward and non-Woodward actuators, and can be calibrated to provide the required current or voltage signals for most industrial fuel valves.

Why choose the 2301A digital architecture over analog governors?

  • Digital design provides superior thermal stability, immunity to component aging, and precise PID control, eliminating the periodic recalibration needed in analog governors due to resistor drift.
