Product Introduction
The Woodward 9905-795 Digital Synchronizer and Load Controller is a highly integrated and intelligent control solution engineered to automate the synchronization and load sharing of generator sets operating in both isolated and utility-parallel systems. This advanced controller combines automatic generator synchronizing, breaker control, and real-time load distribution in a compact digital module designed for high-reliability power generation systems.
As part of Woodward’s SPM-D (Synchronizer and Paralleling Module – Digital) product line, the 9905-795 provides precise phase, voltage, and frequency matching, ensuring seamless synchronization with minimal manual intervention. It features a robust digital architecture, configurable I/O, and communication capabilities that allow for easy integration into SCADA, DCS, and PLC environments.
Designed for mission-critical power applications, the 9905-795 improves generator efficiency, prevents overload conditions, and ensures uninterrupted power flow during synchronization, making it an essential component in backup, prime, and distributed energy generation systems.
