1887-031 Woodward overspeed protector

The 1887-031 is a microprocessor-based digital governor controller produced by Woodward, belonging to its classic 505 series.
It is primarily designed for speed control and protection of steam turbines. Below is a detailed introduction to this product:

I. Product Overview

Brand and Model: Woodward 1887-031
Series: 505 Series Digital Governor
Type: Microprocessor-based controller
Purpose: Specifically designed for steam turbines to control their speed and provide overspeed protection.

II. Core Functions

Speed Control:
- 1887-031 Precisely controls the speed of steam turbines by adjusting steam inlet flow.
- Supports single-range or split-range actuators to accommodate turbines of different sizes.
Overspeed Protection:
- Incorporates triple independent overspeed protection logic to ensure rapid shutdown in case of overspeed, preventing equipment damage.
- Provides an overspeed test button for convenient on-site testing of protection functions.
Emergency Shutdown:
- Equipped with an emergency stop button for immediate shutdown in emergency situations.
System Protection:
- - Automatically switches control modes upon sensor failure to ensure uninterrupted system operation.
  - Offers local/remote control priority selection to adapt to different operational scenarios.

Input level

The input stage is responsible for receiving external control signals and converting them into signals suitable for internal circuit processing.

####2.2 Driver level

The driver stage is the core part of the gate driver chip, responsible for generating gate voltage and gate current. It usually includes one or more power amplifiers.

####2.3 Protection Circuit

The protective circuit is used to monitor the working status of the chip and provide protective measures in case of abnormal situations.

####2.4 Output Stage

The output stage is responsible for transmitting the gate voltage and current generated by the driver stage to the power electronic devices.

### 3. The function of gate driver chip

The main functions of gate driver chips include:

####3.1 Quick switch

The gate driver chip needs to be able to quickly switch power electronic devices from a conducting state to a cutoff state, or from a cutoff state to a conducting state.

####3.2 Precise Control

The gate driver chip needs to be able to accurately control the gate voltage and gate current to achieve stable operation of the device.
