Manual 82560 EG-3P Actuator When used in a Zone 2 Hazardous location, the enclosure in which the EG3P actuator is installed must provide a minimum IP54 level of protection against ingress of dust and moisture in accordance with EN 60079-15.
EG-3P Actuator Manual 82560 Chapter 1. General Information 2301 Electric Governor The 2301 electric governor is one in which its actuator output (terminal) shaft position is directly proportional to the input signal from its electric control unit. It can be used in an isochronous (constant speed) mode for single engine operation or when paralleled with similar units on an isolated bus.
The EG-3P has 4.5 ft-lb (6.1 J) of stalled work capacity, a useful work capacity of 3 ft-lb (4 J), and a maximum 42° output shaft travel. Torque rating is 6.0 lb-ft (8.1 Nm).

(not furnished by Woodward). An EG-3P actuator can be furnished with or without a drive shaft. The drive shaft of a unit fitted with such a shaft can be driven by the prime mover or some other means to provide relative rotation between the pilot valve plunger and bushing and to rotate the oil pump gears.
The pilot valve plunger is centered when its control land exactly covers the control port in the pilot valve bushing. The greater of two forces moves the pilot valve plunger up or down. When the forces are equal, the plunger does not move. Figure 1-1. EG-3P Schematic Woodward...
EG-3P Actuator (with Compensation) Description Many EG-3P actuators operate with oil supplied directly from the prime mover. Certain multi-viscosity motor oils require a compensation system within the actuator to provide needed stability.
Manual 82560 EG-3P Actuator Figure 1-2. EG-3PC Schematic Buffer System With a fuel change, the new position taken by the loading piston changes the pressure of the compensation oil, temporarily. The new pressure causes a pressure difference across the compensation land and this assists in re-centering the plunger.
EG-1 may be ordered from this manual as well as parts for the EG-3P and EG-3PC actuators. Needle Valve Adjustment The needle valve is factory set at two turns out from closed. If instability is experienced during operation with cold multi-viscosity oils the needle valve can be turned in until stability is obtained.
Manual 82560 EG-3P Actuator Parts Six additional parts are added to the base for the EG-proportional-compensated actuator. The configuration of the base is also slightly changed. The additional parts are shown in Figure 1-4. A needle valve with O-ring is added to the case.
EG-3P Actuator Manual 82560 Chapter 2. Installation Introduction Take care to mount the actuator “square” with the engine (or turbine) linkage. If the actuator is one driven by the engine or some other source, a gasket should be placed between the base and the base mounting pad. The gasket must not block the two drain holes adjacent to the centering pilot of the base (see Figure 4-3).
Manual 82560 EG-3P Actuator Maximum work capacity over full governor travel of 42° is *. See Figure 2-1 for recommended governor output travel. In special applications, min and max prime mover stops may be outside the governor stops. *—See Table 1-1 for values.
EG-3P Actuator Manual 82560 Pilot Valve Centering Refer to Figure 4-1b (oil motor model), for the item numbers used in the following information. Initial adjustment consists of physically centering the magnet (74) between the coils of the transducer (100) when the control land on the pilot valve plunger (81) is centered over the control port in the pilot valve bushing (26).

The shaft-driven EG-3P actuator (most often used) requires about 3/4 volt to move the terminal shaft from the minimum stop. Six or seven volts are required to move the terminal shaft to maximum stop. Some EG-3P actuators require less voltage for full travel.
Manual 82560 EG-3P Actuator Chapter 3. Troubleshooting This chapter gives instructions for checking actuator and prime mover operation. See appropriate manual for troubleshooting your 2301 governor system. Check the load to be sure that speed changes are not the result of unusual load variations.
