The Woodward 8290-200 is an Electrically Powered Governor (EPG) speed control unit designed for precise diesel engine speed regulation within marine control systems. Operating at 24V DC and covering a frequency assembly range of 1500–3000 Hz, this unit governs fuel delivery and engine output in response to load changes, maintaining stable RPM across varying operating conditions. As a critical component within the marine engine control system, it ensures reliable propulsion and auxiliary engine management onboard commercial and industrial vessels.
Key Features
✓ Electrically powered governor (EPG) providing closed-loop speed control for diesel engines, with a specified operating voltage of 24V DC and assembly frequency range of 1500–3000 Hz as indicated in product data.
✓ Revision J configuration with CE marking noted in the product data, indicating compliance with applicable European conformity requirements; additional certifications subject to confirmation against vessel and installation requirements.
✓ Compatible with Woodward EPG control systems and associated actuators typical of diesel generator sets and main engine auxiliary control arrangements; exact panel or controller compatibility should be confirmed against system documentation.
✓ Designed for engine room installation in marine environments; mounting configuration, enclosure rating, and environmental suitability should be verified against the original system drawings and vessel classification requirements.
✓ Direct replacement reference for ETON ET166 and associated assembly references 2564284 and 3077-735; original nameplate and system documentation should be consulted to confirm fit and function prior to installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Diesel generator sets aboard cargo vessels, tankers, and offshore support vessels requiring stable frequency and voltage output under varying electrical loads.
✓ Main engine auxiliary control systems on commercial vessels where precise speed governing is essential for safe and efficient propulsion management.
✓ Genset control panels on passenger ferries, RoRo vessels, and platform supply vessels where consistent engine speed directly affects onboard power quality.
✓ Retrofit and upgrade applications replacing ageing governor controls on vessels undergoing machinery modernisation or planned maintenance overhauls.
✓ Emergency generator systems and harbour generator installations where reliable speed control is required to meet class and flag state operational requirements.
