Your Goal
To understand Governor control system
design and maintenance practices for
Woodward UG8 Hydraulic system, and
2301 Electronic governors.
Compensation Adjustment
After the temperature of the engine and
the oil in the governor have reached
their normal operating values, you can
make compensation process without
loading the engine.

Compensation Adjustment
4. Loosen the nut holding the
compensation adjusting pointer
and set the pointer at the lowest
position.
5. Gradually close the needle valve
until hunting just stops. Dont go
beyond this position.
6. Check the amount left to fully
close the needle valve. 1/8
turn open makes a satisfactory
adjustment.
7. If hunting did not stop, raise the
compensation pointer two
divisions of the scale,
8. Open the needle valve again and
repeat the cycle.
What is synchronization?
The matching of the output voltage wave
form of one alternating current
generator with the voltage wave form
of another alternating current electrical
system.
Synchronization of Engine
Generator Systems
For two systems to be synchronized, five
conditions must be matched:
1. The number of phases in each system.
2. The direction of rotation of these phases.
3. The voltage amplitudes of the two systems.
4. The frequencies of the two systems.
5. The phase angle of the voltage of the two
systems.

Droop / Isochronous
If multiple generator sets operate in
parallel in an isolated system, operate
only one generator in an isochronous
and all other generators in a droop
mode.
The Isochronus generator is a swing unit
