Woodward 5448-903 Load Sharing Module

The 5448-903 Load Sharing Module is designed to enhance the performance of industrial generator systems. This module enables reliable load distribution across multiple generators, supporting both isochronous and droop load sharing modes. It ensures precise control over load conditions, even when multiple generators run in parallel.

Key Features and Functions

The 5448-903 offers two modes for load sharing: isochronous and droop. In isochronous mode, the module maintains consistent load sharing across multiple generators, even under varying load conditions. On the other hand, the droop mode adjusts the output as the load fluctuates, ensuring a smooth transition from no-load to full-load conditions.

This unit operates on DC power input, with a voltage range of 18V to 32V DC. It is built to perform in extreme temperatures, from -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C). Additionally, the 5448-903 is shock-resistant, with a rating of 40G at an 11-millisecond sawtooth pulse, making it ideal for use in harsh industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

Installation and Environmental Considerations

To ensure optimal performance, install the 5448-903 in a dry, dust-free environment. Its compact design—273.6 mm (L) x 59.2 mm (W) x 214.1 mm (H)—makes it easy to integrate into various generator systems. Avoid installing the unit in areas with excessive humidity or dust, as these factors could impact its longevity and functionality.

Applications and Compatibility

The 5448-903 module is ideal for generator systems requiring precise load-sharing capabilities. It works seamlessly with Woodward SPM-A synchronizers, ensuring that the generator systems remain synchronized and efficiently load-balanced across various operational conditions.
