Woodward generator load control 8271-468

Part 8271-468 Generator Loading Control from Woodward.

It runs on 115/230 volt AC power and has a beige case. This unit is primarily used in commercial applications.

When used in conjunction with the Woodward Load Sharing and Speed Control System, it allows you to adjust the electrical load being carried by the generator set.

Product Description

The standard commercial features of the Generator Load Control Unit 8271-468 have been programmed into the unit.

This allows the unit to control user-selected electrical load adjustment of the generator set.

Operation and adjustment of the 8271-468 to the desired specifications is highly dependent on the unit's use of the power system.

It can be used with an isolated power system or with a local system connected in parallel with an infinite bus.

In an isolated system, the 8271-468 generator load control is used in conjunction with each load sharing and speed control.

The 8271-468 is wired in parallel with these two units to detect generator loads.

The output of this unit is designed to bias the line voltage to control a portion of the total system load.

If connected in parallel to an infinite bus, the voltage at the generator load control device load signal test socket should be measured when the unit is fully loaded.

In an isochronous parallel application, Generator Load Control Part No. 8271-468 regulates power while the utility maintains frequency.

The advantage of this control system over standard parallel buck operation is that, when separated from the utility, the

The now isolated busbar is automatically under isochronous speed control, eliminating the need for the operator to readjust the speed setting.

Within Woodward Equipment's line of generator controls, the 8271-468 has the widest market availability compared to other components.
