Description
The Woodward 9905-002N is an SPMA (Synchronizer and Phase Matching) control module engineered for the precise synchronization of AC generators to a utility grid or common bus. Rated for 230 V, 60 Hz operations, this unit automates the critical process of matching generator frequency, phase angle, and voltage before the circuit breaker closes. By providing automated control, the 9905-002N significantly reduces the risk of out-of-phase closure, protecting prime movers and electrical switchgear from severe mechanical and electrical transients.
Features
- Internal phase-lock loop (PLL) circuitry for real-time phase angle monitoring.
- Adjustable setpoints for phase window and dwell time to accommodate varying load dynamics.
- Proportional bias output signal for seamless integration with engine governor systems.
- Ruggedized construction designed for reliable operation in high-vibration industrial environments.
- High electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity for stable performance in power generation facilities.
Applications
This synchronizer is widely deployed in mission-critical power management environments, including:
- Industrial power generation and cogeneration plants.
- Standby and emergency power systems for refineries and chemical processing facilities.
- Microgrid management for mining operations and remote sites.
