Product Description
Woodward 37532 easYgen-3100/3200 Genset Control
Product Overview
- The Woodward 37532 easYgen-3100/3200 is a series of advanced Genset Control Units designed for controlling and paralleling generator sets in industrial and power generation applications. These microprocessor-based controllers manage engine start/stop, generator protection, and synchronization, enabling single or multiple genset operations in standalone, island, or grid-parallel modes. The easYgen-3100 is typically used for single genset control, while the easYgen-3200 supports paralleling and load sharing for up to 32 gensets. They are widely used in industries such as power generation, data centers, hospitals, oil and gas, and marine applications, known for their flexibility, robust protection features, and user-friendly interface.
