Product Overview
The Woodward 8440-1878 is a central synchronization and load-sharing controller within the easYgen-2000 series. It automates generator synchronization by precisely matching frequency, phase, and voltage to a common bus or utility mains. Supporting up to 16 generators in a peer-to-peer network, it ensures stable and efficient power distribution for standby and prime power systems.
This unit is supplied as 100% brand new original equipment, with factory-certified firmware and zero operational hours.

Engineering Advantages
-
Precise Synchronization: Executes rapid phase matching to ensure breaker closure only at synchronization point, minimizing electrical stress.
-
Advanced Load Sharing: Distributes kW and kVAR loads evenly across multiple generators to maintain stability and prevent overload.
-
Multi-Protocol Communication: Simultaneous CAN and Modbus communication enables integration with ECUs and SCADA systems.
-
Robust Noise Immunity: Internal filtering mitigates electrical noise from high-voltage environments.
-
Built-in Diagnostics: Front-panel LCD provides real-time monitoring and fault logs without external tools.
FAQs
Does it support AMF (Automatic Mains Failure)?
Yes. It automatically detects utility failure and initiates generator start and synchronization sequences.
How does it interface with engine control systems?
It communicates via CAN (J1939) or analog outputs to adjust engine speed through the governor.
Can it operate with other Woodward easYgen units?
Yes. It integrates with easYgen-2000 and easYgen-3000 series via CAN bus for multi-unit coordination.
