Description
WOODWARD
PART NO: 9907-018
LOW VOLTAGE 2301A LOAD SHARING & SPEED CONTROL MODULE
REV: E
The Woodward 9907-018 is a low voltage 2301A Load Sharing & Speed Control Module, a precision electronic control unit engineered to regulate engine speed and manage load sharing between parallel generators. As a core component within marine control systems, it plays a critical role in maintaining stable frequency and balanced power distribution across a vessel’s electrical plant. Reliable generator control is fundamental to safe and efficient shipboard operations, making this module an operationally significant item for any vessel running parallel generating sets.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a combined load sharing and speed control unit, enabling accurate governing and synchronised load distribution between generators running in parallel.
✓ Rated for low voltage applications; exact input/output voltage ranges and response times are subject to confirmation against vessel-specific configuration.
✓ Revision E designation indicates an updated hardware or firmware release — compatibility with existing 2301A system installations should be verified prior to fitment.
✓ Designed for integration within engine room control panels and governor systems typical of commercial and offshore marine electrical plant arrangements.
✓ Serves as a direct replacement or spare module for vessels operating Woodward 2301A-based governor control systems, supporting planned maintenance and fault rectification programmes.
Marine Applications
✓ Parallel generator control systems aboard commercial cargo vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers requiring stable load sharing and frequency regulation.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels where precise power management across multiple generating sets is operationally critical.
✓ Diesel-electric propulsion arrangements on ferries, cruise vessels, and specialist vessels dependent on coordinated generator output.
✓ Engine room automation and power management systems on naval auxiliaries and government vessels utilising Woodward governor technology.
✓ Retrofit and upgrade projects replacing legacy speed control modules within existing 2301A governor system installations.
