Woodward | 5437-1124 | ProTech-GII Turbine Protection Module

Product Description

The Woodward 5437-1124 is a spare system module designed for the ProTech-GII turbine overspeed protection system. It is used in critical turbine safety applications to monitor operating speed and support protective shutdown functions when abnormal overspeed or overacceleration conditions are detected.

The 5437-1124 is specifically associated with ProTech-GII systems 8237-1596 and 8237-1600. It is designed for industrial steam turbines, gas turbines, hydro turbines, compressors, and other rotating machinery requiring dependable overspeed protection.

The ProTech-GII uses independent protection modules and can employ 2-out-of-3 voting logic, depending on the system configuration. This architecture helps maintain protection availability and supports module-level maintenance.
