DIAGRAM ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR

The M-SC8 and 10 3000 rpm are equipped with an
electronic governor in addition to the mechanical governor
that is on other Whisper models. A governor keeps the
speed (RPM=Rotations Per Minute) of the engine at a
fixed value. The RPM of the engine correlates with the
frequency of the electrical output (3000 RPM =50 Hz) of
the alternator.
Under full load the RPM of the Whisper models that has
only a mechanical governor can drop 75 RPM (=2.5 Hz) at
full load and will go further down or collapse when further
loaded. However the engines with the electronic governor
will keep the RPM and frequency at the set value. As the
voltage is related to the frequency, the voltage will be
more stable as well.
The RPM represents power and the alternator performs
better as well on a higher speed. Whisper models with an
electronic governor will bring more power.
So the electronic governor offers three advantages: a
more stable frequency and voltage and more power.
The electronic governor system contains two parts:

1 The actuator controls the engine speed. This actuator
replaces the standard hold solenoid that is on all other
mechanical controlled Whisper engines. The actuator
controls the RPM directly on the fuel rack inside the
fuel pump without levers and other mechanical
transmissions.
2 A microprocessor keeps the speed at the set value by
controlling the actuator. The microprocessor is
programmed at the WhisperPower factory and many
parameters are set to perform well. It should not be
necessary to make adjustments. When adjustments
are necessary this can only be done with the help of
an interface to a computer and special software to get
access to the microprocessor.
The WhisperPower electronic governor does not need a
pickup device in the flywheel housing that counts the
passing tooth of the flywheel and determines the exact
RPM of the engine, because the processor uses the 50 Hz
of the AC output voltage as a reference.
