Product Description
The Woodward 9907-167 is a 2301A series electronic control assembly designed for load sharing and speed control of diesel engines, gas engines, or steam turbines. This specific model is the high-voltage variant, capable of operating on standard AC or DC utility power without the need for an external transformer.
The 2301A provides a robust solution for managing prime movers in generator set applications. It features an isochronous speed control mode for constant frequency and a droop mode for parallel operation with an infinite bus or other engines. The unit also includes built-in load sensor circuitry to ensure proportional load sharing between multiple paralleled units.

Operating Precautions
- High Voltage Safety: Because this unit operates at up to 132 VAC / 150 VDC, ensure all power is disconnected before adjusting terminal connections or internal jumpers.
- Magnetic Pickup (MPU): Ensure the MPU air gap is set correctly (typically 0.010 to 0.020 inches). A weak speed signal can cause erratic governing or a “Loss of Speed” trip.
- Shielding: The speed sensor and actuator wiring MUST be shielded. Failure to use shielded twisted-pair cabling can lead to electromagnetic interference causing speed instability.
- Potentiometer Handling: Use a small, non-conductive screwdriver for adjustments. Do not force the potentiometers past their mechanical stops, as this will damage the internal wiper.
