8291-020 | Electronic Governor (FEG) speed controller | Control the electric actuator

The Woodward 8291-020 is a Flo-Tech Electronic Governor (FEG) speed controller manufactured by Woodward Governor Company. It is a compact and versatile governor designed for precise speed control of industrial gas turbines in a variety of applications.

Main functions:

Precise speed control: The 8291-020 keeps the gas turbine's speed at a precise set point, ensuring consistent power output and preventing overspeed conditions.
Load sharing: It can be configured to share the load with other FEGs, enabling multiple gas turbines to operate in parallel and distribute the load evenly.
Start-up fuel Limit: The system automatically limits fuel supply during gas turbine start-up to minimize emissions and wear.
Electronic actuator control: It controls the electric actuator to adjust the fuel flow of the gas turbine according to the speed and load requirements.
Protection Features: The 8291-020 features protection to protect the gas turbine from abnormal conditions such as overspeed, high exhaust temperature and low oil pressure.
