General Information Introduction The Woodward Load Sharing Module is made for use with engines equipped with speed controls that accept a 0–5 Vdc speed setting. The Load Sharing Module allows use of Woodward power generation accessories and allows load sharing...
To maintain compliance with CE marking requirements, the European Union Low Voltage Directive requires that the Load Sharing Module (LSM) be mounted in an IP43 enclosure as defined in EN60529. Access to the Load Sharing Module must be restricted to qualified personnel. Woodward...
Do not attempt to tin (put solder on) the braided shield. All signal lines should be shielded to prevent picking up stray signals from adjacent equipment. Connect the shields to the terminals indicated in the plant wiring diagram. Wire exposed beyond the shield must be as short as possible. Woodward...
4. Connect lugs to the shield and to the control wires. Number 6 slotted or round crimp-on terminals are used for most installations. Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the module. Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) may require shielded wire run in conduit, double shielded wire, or other precautions. Woodward...
If droop is not desired when the auxiliary contact is open, turn the droop potentiometer fully counterclockwise. Use a single pole, single-throw switch with a 0.1 A minimum rating for the “open for droop” switch. Woodward...
When using a DDEC III or IV control, terminal 916 could be connected to terminal 21. Terminal 916 is a 5 Vdc reference from the DDEC control that is referenced to terminal 952 that is connected to terminal 20 of the LSM. Woodward...
Remove the load from the generator set. Check the voltage between terminals 22 and 23. This voltage should be 0.0 ± 0.25 Vdc. If this voltage is not correct, the Load Sharing Module is faulty or there may still be load on the generator. Woodward...
17. Shut down the generator set. 18. Reconnect the phase “A” CT wire to terminal 5. 19. If the reading in step 16 was correct, proceed to Load Gain Adjustment later in this chapter. Otherwise, perform the following Phase Correction Procedure. Woodward...
Label each CT wire with the phase and polarity that you think it should be. Even though this identification may prove to be wrong during this procedure, this step is necessary so that the individual wires may be identified during the description of the procedure. Woodward...
10. Measure the load signal voltage between terminals 22 and 23 and record this voltage. 11. Shut the generator set down. 12. Remove the phase “A” CT wires from terminal 4 and 5 and connect the phase “A” CT wires to the phase “B” input terminals 6 and 7. Woodward...

32. Measure the load signal voltage between terminals 22 and 23 and record this voltage. 33. Shut down the generator set. 34. Remove the phase “B” CT wires from the terminals they are connected to and connect them to the remaining pair of CT input terminals on the Load Sharing Module. Woodward...
If the load signal voltage cannot be raised to 6 volts, and the phasing has been checked and is correct, it will be necessary to use a lower load signal voltage. Set the full load signal voltages of all generator sets in the system to the same voltage. Woodward...
Adjust the DROOP potentiometer to give the desired speed. Example: Operating at 60 Hz, 57 Hz at full load indicates 5 percent droop. If only 50 percent loading is possible, 58.5 Hz would indicate 5 percent droop (see Figure 3-2). Figure 3-2. Droop Adjustment Woodward...
A speed-trim potentiometer can be added to the Load Sharing Module to permit remote adjustment of the load or frequency of the generator. The speed trim is normally used for manual synchronization of a generator set with an existing bus or to change the load demand when in droop mode. Woodward...
Auxiliary Equipment The Woodward SPM-A synchronizer functions by biasing the output of the Load Sharing Module. All other Woodward auxiliary generating control equipment functions by biasing the voltage on the load-sharing lines.
Perform phasing check. If phasing check Adjusting LOAD Gain won't wiring. indicates need, perform procedure for raise it. correct phase wiring. Insufficient CT output. Check for 5 amp CT output at full load. Change to a lower primary current CT if necessary. Woodward...

A Recognized Turbine Retrofitter (RTR) is an independent company that does both steam and gas turbine control retrofits and upgrades globally, and can provide the full line of Woodward systems and components for the retrofits and overhauls, long term service contracts, emergency repairs, etc.
Flat Rate Remanufacture: Flat Rate Remanufacture is very similar to the Flat Rate Repair option with the exception that the unit will be returned to you in “like- new” condition and carry with it the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and Service Warranty 5-01-1205). This option is applicable to mechanical products only.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.
