• Gas engine generator sets

• Engine-generator synchronization

• Load sharing and load control

• Generator protection and monitoring

• Prime mover speed and excitation control

Precautions

• 8406-116 is an EGCP-2 Engine Generator Control, not simply a speed-control module.

• Verify the PT input requirement of 50–150 VAC before installation; 8406-115 uses a different 150–300 VAC PT range.

• Use a compatible 9–32 VDC control power supply.

• Verify CT and PT wiring before energizing the controller.

• The EGCP-2 is specified for non-hazardous locations in the Woodward documentation.
