Woodward 2301 Load Sensor 8271-250 C

Woodward 2301 Load Sensor (P/N 8271-250 C)

The Woodward 2301 Load Sensor is an important part of systems that make engines work and control them. It functions like the governor’s “eyes” by measuring how much power a generator is using and sending a signal to the control system that matches that amount. This makes sure that the engine responds fast to variations in demand, which maintains the frequency consistent and stops the engine from speeding up or slowing down too quickly.

The “C” version of the 8271-250 series is noted for being tough and able to handle the heat and vibration that are typical in engine rooms and on boats.

Main Features:

1) Precision Load Sensing: This feature gives you very accurate voltage or current measurements that are proportionate to the load on the generator.

2) High Response Speed: Lets the governor make changes in real time before the frequency drops.

3) Rugged Construction: Designed to work well in places with a lot of vibration and very high or low temperatures.

4) Paralleling Capability: This is important for systems where several generators need to divide the load evenly.

5) Analog Integration: Works perfectly with Woodward 2301A and 723 series speed controls.

Uses in Business

• Power Plants: Used in diesel and gas generator sets for both main power and backup power.
• Marine Vessels: Important for managing primary propulsion and auxiliary power aboard ships.
• Oil and Gas: Used in offshore rigs and remote pumping stations to make sure power is distributed evenly.
• Industrial Facilities: Makes sure that microgrids and big manufacturing units can share loads without any problems.
