    General Information Introduction This manual covers Electrically Power Governor (EPG) models 512/524 and 1712/1724. Refer to the appropriate manual or contact Woodward for information about other versions of the EPG. Application The EPG is used to control the speed of diesel, gas, and gasoline engines. It can also control the speed of gas turbines.

    General Custom installation kits, including actuator mounting hardware, linkage, and actuator wiring harness, are available for some specific engines. Contact Woodward for more information. WARNING—OVERSPEED PROTECTION The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an overspeed shutdown device to protect against runaway or damage to the prime mover with possible personal injury, loss of life, or property damage.

  • Page 11: Figure 2-2. Linear Linkage

    Match the actuator’s direction of rotation for increased fuel with the fuel control’s direction of rotation for increased fuel by choosing a suitable linkage. If you are using a Woodward supplied installation kit, follow its instructions and skip over Linkage Compatibility. Begin again with Installing the Magnetic Pickup.

  • Page 12: Wiring Instructions

    Wiring Instructions Use a wiring diagram for the specific part number of your EPG system to make all wiring connections. The wiring diagram is available from Woodward. Typical wiring is shown in Figure 2-5. Make all connections using insulated terminals. The wiring from actuator to speed control and from the battery to the speed control must be as short as possible.

  • Page 13: Figure 2-5. Typical Epg (Lsochronous) Wiring Diagram

    CAUTION—POWER WIRES Connect power wires directly to the battery terminals. The speed control can be damaged if these wires are connected to distribution points. See Figure 2-6. Figure 2-5. Typical EPG (lsochronous) Wiring Diagram (Do not use for construction.) Woodward...

    Alternatively, the prime mover can run to rated speed on starting (refer to the curves in Figure 2-9). Paralleled generator applications can be equally automatic when a Woodward SPM Synchronizer is used. In both automatically and manually controlled applications, a Ramp Generator can be used to provide adjustable time to go from rated to idle speeds.

    With an isolated bus, isochronous load sharing is usually chosen. In an isochronous load sharing system, the load gain signal voltage is shared with all other controls through paralleling lines, and provides an average load gain signal used by the controller circuits. Woodward...
