WOODWARD 8440-1800 EasyGen-320 Generator Control Module – EasyGen Series
Imagine a critical power generation facility — a hospital, a data center, or an offshore platform — where the generator control system suddenly loses its brain. Without a reliable genset controller, the engine cannot synchronize to the grid, load sharing collapses, and protective shutdowns fail to respond. The consequences range from costly downtime to catastrophic equipment damage. The WOODWARD 8440-1800 EasyGen-320 is the precision control module engineered to prevent exactly this scenario, delivering deterministic, fail-safe generator management in the most demanding industrial environments.
Within the EasyGen series, the EasyGen-320 occupies the mid-range tier, purpose-built for single genset applications requiring robust protection, flexible communication, and straightforward commissioning. WOODWARD’s EasyGen controllers are globally recognized as the industry benchmark for generator management units (GMUs), deployed across power plants, marine vessels, oil & gas facilities, and mission-critical infrastructure on every continent. The 8440-1800 part number represents a specific hardware configuration within this trusted platform, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of generator OEM packages.
