For even higher challenges in genset control the easYgen series offers further solutions up to the most complex and ambitious applications. For dedicated protection tasks ask Woodward for its protection (relay) solutions. Intended Use The easYgen unit has been designed and constructed solely for the intended use described in this Operation Manual and--with even more details-- in the Technical Manual.
