8273-276 Woodward ProTech 203

The 8273-276 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 8273-276
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:
- 8273-276 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.

When the battery voltage is insufficient and has not reached the undervoltage protection level, if high current output is continuously used,

the internal resistance and line resistance of the battery will generate a significant voltage drop, causing the controller to immediately implement undervoltage protection.

In response to this situation, our controller”s current limit value decreases as the battery voltage drops below a certain level. Therefore,

the controller can continue to operate in a low current form, effectively improving the driving range of the electric vehicle. When the battery voltage falls below the undervoltage protection point, the output is turned off to protect the battery.

4. Ordinary brakes, electromagnetic brakes, and brake reverse charging function

5. Various protection functions include phase line short circuit protection, locked rotor protection, undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection,

phase loss protection, MOS short circuit protection, power on handle non-zero protection (anti runaway), brake fault protection, etc.

6. Manual and automatic cruise control functions

7. Assist function

8. Speed regulation and speed limit function

9. Reverse function

10. Voice self-test function
