Turbine & Engine Speed Governing Solution – WOODWARD 8290-184 | 8290 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The WOODWARD 8290-184 Speed Control Module is engineered for precision speed governing in demanding industrial environments. Typical deployment scenarios include:
- Gas & Steam Turbine Generators – Maintains isochronous or droop speed control for power generation sets in utilities and industrial co-generation plants.
- Diesel & Gas Engine Driven Compressors – Regulates engine RPM under variable load conditions in oil & gas pipeline compression stations.
- Marine Propulsion Systems – Provides stable governor response for main propulsion engines and auxiliary gensets aboard vessels.
- Industrial Pump Drives – Controls variable-speed pump drivers in water treatment, chemical processing, and refinery applications.
- Emergency Standby Generators – Ensures rapid load acceptance and stable frequency output during grid outages in critical facilities (hospitals, data centers, substations).

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the 8290-184 compatible with my existing WOODWARD 8290-series panel?
A: Yes. The 8290-184 is a direct form-fit-function replacement within the 8290 series. Verify your actuator output type (mA vs PWM) before installation.
Q: Can this module be used for load sharing in parallel generator sets?
A: The 8290-184 provides droop mode for basic load sharing. For isochronous load sharing across multiple gensets, a dedicated WOODWARD Load Sharing Module is recommended in addition.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–2 business days. Out-of-stock sourcing typically takes 3–7 business days depending on global availability.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. All tested units carry a 12-month functional warranty. New/surplus-new units carry manufacturer warranty terms where applicable.
Q: Can you provide documentation (datasheet, wiring diagram)?
A: Yes. Contact us with your order number or inquiry and we will supply the relevant WOODWARD technical documentation.
