Engineering Advantages
-
Millisecond Synchronization: The 8440-2150A utilizes advanced phase-matching algorithms to synchronize frequency and voltage in milliseconds, drastically reducing mechanical stress on breaker contacts and alternators.
-
Scalable Architecture: You can link up to 16 LS-5 units in a single application. This enables the management of up to 32 bus segments, making it ideal for large-scale industrial microgrids and complex utility tie-ins.
-
Mains Decoupling Excellence: The module monitors QV (Reactive Power/Voltage) and provides time-dependent voltage monitoring. It automatically initiates decoupling during grid disturbances, preventing back-feeding and protecting on-site generation assets.
-
LogicsManager™ Customization: Woodward's proprietary LogicsManager allows you to create custom boolean logic within the controller. This eliminates the need for external PLC hardware to handle basic sequencing or interlocking tasks.
-
easYgen-3000XT Integration: This controller communicates natively with Woodward’s easYgen-3000XT series via the CAN bus, creating a unified power management ecosystem that simplifies commissioning and troubleshooting.
FAQs
Q: The 8440-2150A does not have a display. How do I configure it?
A: As a P1 variant, this unit requires Woodward’s Toolkit software. You connect via the RS-485 or CAN interface to perform setpoint adjustments, monitor real-time data, and view the event logger. This "blind" design prevents unauthorized on-site tampering.
Q: Can this unit handle both 1-breaker and 2-breaker configurations?
A: Yes. The 8440-2150A is highly flexible. You can configure it to control a single breaker (Generator, Mains, or Tie) or a dual-breaker arrangement depending on your specific bus segment requirements.
Q: Does it meet European grid code requirements?
A: Absolutely. This model complies with major German and European grid codes, including VDE AR-N 4105 and BDEW, ensuring it meets the stringent safety and decoupling standards required for utility-connected power systems.
Q: What are the benefits of DIN rail mounting for this specific module?
A: The compact housing and DIN rail compatibility allow for high-density installation in narrow control cabinets. This reduces the footprint of your control lineup while maintaining easy access to the pluggable terminal blocks for rapid field replacement.
