Woodward 9905-002 SPM-A Synchronizer

Product Introduction

The Woodward 9905-002 SPM-A Synchronizer is a compact, high-performance automatic synchronizer designed to bring generator sets or other AC sources into phase, frequency, and voltage alignment with a power bus. This synchronizer is part of Woodward’s trusted line of SPM-A series devices, engineered specifically for precision, reliability, and ease of integration into existing power systems.

Ideal for manual and semi-automatic control systems, the 9905-002 provides real-time monitoring and control of voltage, phase, and frequency to ensure that generators synchronize smoothly with utility lines or other generators. It uses fast-response solid-state electronics to manage the closing of breaker contacts at the precise moment when parameters are within acceptable limits.

Built for industrial-grade environments, the SPM-A synchronizer is a long-standing solution for mission-critical power operations in sectors such as power generation, oil & gas, and marine systems.
