Overview
The Woodward 8271-468 is a generator loading control module that enables precise adjustment of electrical load in generator sets. It is commonly used in commercial power systems, where it works in tandem with Woodward speed governors and load sharing modules such as the 2301, 2301A, EG, 2500, and EPG series. This module helps maintain system stability by biasing line voltage to regulate generator output, especially during load transitions or parallel operation.
Moreover, the 8271-468 supports both isolated and paralleled generator configurations, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition, its rugged panel-mounted design ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The unit operates on 115/230 VAC input power and includes built-in protection features for safe and efficient operation.
Its compatibility with Woodward’s legacy and modern control systems makes it a versatile choice for both retrofit and new installations. Whether used in utility backup systems, marine propulsion, or industrial plants, the 8271-468 delivers dependable load regulation and system coordination.
