Description
The Woodward 9905-096 Automatic Generator Loading Control (AGLC) is a generator load management controller designed for automatic loading, unloading, and load transfer control in generator paralleling systems. It works together with Woodward load-sharing and speed-control systems to regulate generator output during synchronization and parallel operation.
The AGLC 9905-096 provides controlled load ramping, base-load adjustment, unload control, and bumpless transfer functions for engine-generator sets. It is commonly applied in industrial power plants, marine generator systems, and standby power applications where smooth generator loading and unloading are required.
