    The other end of the shields must be left open and insulated from any other conductor. Do not run shielded signal wires with other wires carrying large currents. See Woodward application note 50532, EMI Control for Electronic Governing Systems, for more information.

  • Page 14: Current Transformer Connections

    Use shielded cable and connect the load-sharing lines directly to terminals 10(+) and 11(–). Connect the shield to terminal 12. When all controls in the system are of the 2301A type, the shields may be connected continuously between controls. When load sharing with different controls, do not connect the shields at the point where connections are made to the load-sharing-line bus.

    Manual 02303 2301A Load Sharing & Speed Control Minimum Fuel Contact The minimum-fuel contact (terminal 17) is intended as an optional means for a normal shutdown of the engine. It is connected in series with terminal 16 on low- voltage models OR with terminal 0 on high-voltage models (see the plant wiring diagram, Figure 1-2).

  • Page 17 Manual 02303 2301A Load Sharing & Speed Control Check for Grounds Make sure power is off. Check for grounds by measuring the resistance from terminal 11 to chassis, and from terminals 15 to 11. The resistance should be infinite. If a resistance other than infinite is obtained, remove the connections from each terminal one at a time until the resistance is infinite.
