Product Description
Woodward 9905-001K SPM-A Synchronizing Unit
Product Overview
- The Woodward 9905-001K is an SPM-A (Synchronizer and Phase Matcher) Synchronizing Unit, designed for precise synchronization of generator sets with a busbar or utility grid in industrial power generation applications. This analog-based control unit is part of Woodward’s SPM-A series, providing reliable voltage and frequency matching, phase alignment, and breaker closure control for diesel, gas, or dual-fuel generator sets in single-unit or parallel operation. The SPM-A is a cost-effective solution for basic synchronization tasks, ensuring stable grid or busbar paralleling with minimal setup complexity. The 9905-001K is a specific variant of the SPM-A, potentially featuring a particular speed bias output, input voltage range, or configuration compared to other SPM-A models (e.g., 9905-003, 9905-020). It is designed to work with Woodward governors and other control systems, offering robust performance in industrial environments. The 9905-001K is distinct from Woodward’s digital synchronizers like the DSLC-2 (e.g., 8923-1262), SPM-D2 series (e.g., 8446-1048), and comprehensive genset controls like the EasyGen series (e.g., 8440-2179 EasyGen-3500XT, 8440-2050 EasyGen-3200-5), EGCP-3 series (e.g., 8444-1082), MicroNet Plus (e.g., 8800-1001), as well as turbine governors like the TG-13 (e.g., 8516-050), 2301D/E series (e.g., 8273-1011), 505D series (e.g., 8200-1300), Peak150 series (e.g., 8200-176), ProAct series (e.g., 8237-2595), 723PLUS series (e.g., 8270-1013), EPG systems (e.g., 8290-195), electronic governors (e.g., 8406-121), and actuators (e.g., 8408-921), focusing specifically on analog-based synchronization.
