8271-468 Woodward | Commercial Generator Load Controller

WOODWARD 8271-468 – Generator Loading Control Module

Product Overview

The WOODWARD 8271-468 is a commercial-grade generator loading control module designed to regulate electrical load for generator sets operating in isolated or parallel power systems. It interfaces seamlessly with Woodward 2301, 2301A, EG, EPG, and 2500 series controllers to maintain stable and efficient load sharing across multiple generators.

In isolated systems, the 8271-468 detects the generator’s load and adjusts output accordingly. In parallel systems, including those connected to an infinite bus, it ensures proper load distribution and frequency stability. The module outputs a bias voltage signal that influences voltage or speed controllers, allowing each generator to assume its share of the total system load.

Its rugged panel-mounted design is suitable for industrial applications, and its internal programming supports standard commercial load control functions.
