The WOODWARD 8290-185 is a 24 VDC electrically powered governor (EPG) designed for natural gas or gasoline engines. This speed control system includes an electronic speed control, actuator, and magnetic pickup. It supports isochronous operation with a start fuel-limit feature to prevent overspeed and minimize emissions during engine startup.
As part of the EPG series, the 8290-185 provides robust speed regulation for generator or prime mover applications. The governor allows for adjustable gain and stability, and protects against issues related to low sensor signals or battery problems.
