Product Overview
The Woodward 8406-113 functions as a comprehensive Engine Generator Control Package (EGCP-3) specifically designed for Load Sharing (LS) in multi-unit power environments. This 100% brand-new unit automates the complex processes of engine starting, synchronization, and reactive load distribution. Unlike basic controllers, the 8406-113 manages the entire generator lineup to ensure frequency stability and voltage regulation across industrial grids.

Engineering Advantages
-
Precision Load Distribution: The 8406-113 utilizes advanced algorithms to balance kW and kVAR across multiple generators. This prevents "engine hunting" and reduces mechanical wear on the prime movers.
-
Dual-Interface Monitoring: The dual LCD screen architecture allows operators to view real-time engine vitals (Oil pressure, Coolant Temp) on one screen while simultaneously monitoring electrical parameters (Sync scope, KW Load) on the other.
-
Hazardous Environment Ready: With a UL Class I, Division 2 rating, this unit installs safely in refineries and chemical plants where volatile gases may be present.
-
Streamlined Configuration: Engineers can configure the entire system via the front keypad or utilize Woodward's Watch Window software for rapid remote deployment and data logging.
-
Rugged NEMA 4 Protection: When installed correctly in a console, the faceplate withstands dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial outdoor enclosures.
FAQs
Q: Does the 8406-113 support Automatic Transfer Switching (ATS)?
A: No. The "LS" (Load Sharing) model focuses on generator-to-generator synchronization. If your application requires utility-to-generator transfer, you must pair this with an EGCP-3 "MC" (Mains Control) unit.
Q: Can I use this module to replace an older LinkNet module?
A: While the 8406-113 integrates into LinkNet architectures, it serves as a primary controller rather than a simple I/O expansion. Ensure your system logic supports the EGCP-3 firmware before swapping older hardware.
Q: What is the primary requirement for first-time operation?
A: You must navigate the "First Time Startup Menu" immediately upon power-up. The unit requires specific engine and generator setpoints (CT ratios, voltage scaling, etc.) before it will allow the generator to engage the bus.
Q: How does it handle speed control for different governors?
A: The 8406-113 provides multiple bias output types (Analog, PWM, or Voltage). This versatility allows it to interface with nearly any electronic governor, including Woodward ProAct, 2301A, or EGB series.
