Any unauthorized modifications to or use of this equipment outside its specified
mechanical, electrical, or other operating limits may cause personal injury and/or
property damage, including damage to the equipment. Any such unauthorized
modifications: (i) constitute "misuse" and/or "negligence" within the meaning of
damage, and (ii) invalidate product certifications or listings.
Droop operation is required when the generator is paralleled with an infinite bus
without a Generator Loading Control, Process Control, Automatic Power Transfer
and Load Control, Import/Export Control, or other load controlling accessory, or
when paralleled with incompatible governors. (All Woodward electric load-sharing
systems are compatible.) When running a single unit on an infinite bus with a
Generator Loading Control or Import/Export Control, terminal 14 must be
connected to terminal 16 (terminal 0 on high-voltage controls) to connect the
Load Matching Circuit to the load-sharing lines. The load-sharing lines must be
wired to the Generator Loading Control or Import/Export Control. The circuit
breaker auxiliary contact will then be connected to the Generator Loading Control
or Import/Export Control and not to the 2301A Load Sharing and Speed Control.
Power Supply
Run the power leads directly from the power source to the control, connecting the
negative lead to terminal 15, and the positive lead to terminal 16. If the power
source is a battery, be sure the system includes an alternator or other batterycharging device.
DO NOT apply power to the control at this time. Applying power
before a control is completely connected may damage the control.
Minimum Fuel Contact
The minimum-fuel contact is intended as an optional means for a normal
shutdown of the prime mover. It is connected in series with terminal 16 (terminal
0 on high-voltage controls) and terminal 17 as shown in the plant wiring diagram
(Figure 1-2). Do NOT remove this jumper from terminal 17 unless a minimum fuel
contact is installed; the control will not operate without 18 to 40 Vdc applied to
terminal 17.
When the contact is closed, the voltage applied to terminal 17 allows the control
to move the actuator to any position required for operating conditions.
Do NOT use the minimum-fuel contact as part of any emergency stop
sequence.
