8245-012 Woodward 2301A Speed Controller

Product Brief Description

8245-012 is the Woodward 2301A digital speed controller designed for diesel and gas engines driving generators or mechanical loads. It provides precise speed regulation, load control and parallel operation functions for prime movers. It accepts magnetic pickup speed signals and outputs proportional drive signals to electronic actuators. This unit is widely used for generator set speed control, and commonly stocked as spare parts for engine control cabinet overhaul and retrofitting.

Product Functions

• Precise engine speed regulation based on magnetic pickup sensor input
• Proportional output to drive fuel actuators for engine fuel adjustment
• Support isochronous and droop control modes for generator applications
• Load sharing control when multiple generator sets run in parallel
• Adjustable speed setpoint, gain and stability parameters on the unit
• Built-in fault detection for speed signal loss and internal anomalies
• Compatible with standard magnetic pickup speed sensors
• Compact panel mounting design for industrial engine control cabinets

Application Scenarios

• Land-based diesel generator sets and emergency backup power units
• Marine auxiliary engines and onboard generator speed control
• Gas engine driven generator and compressor prime mover control
• Oil & gas field power generation and pump drive engine control
• Retrofit, maintenance and spare replacement of existing 2301A control systems
• Industrial power station engine governor upgrade projects
