WOODWARD 8440-2181: Circuit Breaker Control (LS-512-1)

 

The LS-5 Series controls are designed to work in conjunction with other Woodward genset controllers (like the easYgen-3000XT series) to provide a comprehensive power management solution. The 8440-2181 is a specialized model because it can control two breakers from a single unit. This makes it ideal for applications with a mains breaker and a bus-tie breaker, or other configurations where a single control point for two breakers is needed. It handles synchronization, protection, and communication for the breakers it controls.

 

Product Overview

 

  • Product Type: Circuit Breaker Control
  • Manufacturer: Woodward
  • Part Number: 8440-2181
  • Series: LS-5 (specifically, the LS-512-1 model)
  • Key Specifications:
    • Housing: Designed for back-panel mounting with a sheet metal frame, which means it doesn’t have an integrated display. It’s a robust unit meant to be installed inside a control cabinet.
    • Breaker Control: Manages two breakers. This is a key feature that distinguishes it from other LS-5 series models.
    • Current Measurement: This specific model is configured for 1 A current transformer (CT) inputs.
    • Communication: It communicates via a CANopen bus with a master controller, such as an easYgen-3000XT. This peer-to-peer communication is essential for load sharing and managing multiple gensets.
    • Protections: Offers a range of configurable protections for the breakers it controls, ensuring the safety and stability of the system.

Detailed Product Description

 

The Woodward 8440-2181 (LS-512-1) is a vital component for building scalable and reliable paralleling power systems, especially those with multiple bus segments or complex breaker arrangements.

  • Modular and Scalable: The LS-5 series is a modular system that allows you to add breaker controls as needed. This approach simplifies wiring and allows for a more flexible and expandable system. The LS-512-1, with its dual-breaker control, further optimizes this modularity by allowing you to manage two breakers with one physical unit.
  • Back-Panel Design: The back-panel mounting with no display is a key design feature that makes the unit rugged and secure. It’s designed to be a component inside a larger, protected control panel.
  • High-Speed CANopen Communication: The CANopen communication protocol provides a fast and reliable link between the LS-5 and the master controller. This ensures that breaker commands and status updates are transmitted quickly and accurately, which is crucial for maintaining system stability and safety.
  • Comprehensive Protection: The LS-5 module provides protection functions for the breakers, acting as a safeguard for the equipment and the network. This is critical for protecting expensive equipment and maintaining the integrity of the power grid.
