Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the
following precautions to prevent damage to these parts:
• Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to
Electrostatic the control turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain
Precautions contact while handling the control).
• Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic
versions) around printed circuit boards.
• Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit
board with your hands or with conductive devices.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper
handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual
82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls,
Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made of synthetic
materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these do not store
static electric charges as much as synthetics.
2. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet unless absolutely necessary.
If you must remove the PCB from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:
• Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
• Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the components with conductive
devices or with your hands.
• When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes in
until you are ready to install it. Immediately after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet,
place it in the antistatic protective bag.

Installation
Introduction
This section contains general installation instructions for the Load Sharing Module. Environmental
precautions and location considerations are included to determine the best location for the Load Sharing
Module. Additional information includes unpacking instructions, electrical connections, and an installation
check-out procedure.
Unpacking
Before handling the Load Sharing Module, read page iii, Electrostatic Discharge Awareness. Be careful
when unpacking the Load Sharing Module. Check the unit for signs of damage such as bent or dented
panels, scratches, and loose or broken parts. Notify the shipper of any damage.
Location Considerations
Consider these requirements when selecting the mounting location:
• Adequate ventilation for cooling

• Space for servicing and repair
• Protection from direct exposure to water or to a condensation-prone environment
• Protection from high-voltage or high-current devices, or devices which produce electromagnetic
interference
• Protection from excessive vibration
• An ambient operating temperature range of –40 to +70 °C (–40 to +158 °F)
• All wiring to/from the Load Sharing Module should be limited to 30 m (98 ft) in length
Do not mount the Load Sharing Module on the engine.
Figure 1-2 is an outline drawing of the Load Sharing Module. Install the unit near the electronic engine
control. It may be installed in any position.
To maintain compliance with CE marking requirements, the European Union Low Voltage Directive
requires that the Load Sharing Module (LSM) be mounted in an IP43 enclosure as defined in EN60529.
Access to the Load Sharing Module must be restricted to qualified personnel.
General Wiring Requirements

The circled ground symbol identifies the Protective Earth Terminal. This terminal must be
connected directly to protective earth using a grounding conductor at least as large as those
used on terminals 1 through 9. The insulation of the grounding conductor must be of green and
yellow color.
This symbol identifies functional or EMC earth. This terminal is to be used for cable shield
connections only. It is not to be used as a protective earth terminal.
Woodward 9
EC-US-L1

When attaching a grounding connection, it is essential that the

grounding ring lug or spade lug be connected between the flat
washer and the CSA cup washer, and that the external tooth washer
remain between the mounting base and the CSA cup washer. See
Detail 'A' in Figure 1-2.
External wiring connections and shielding requirements for a typical installation are shown in the plant
wiring diagram, Figure 1-3. These wiring connections and shielding requirements are explained in more
detail in this chapter.
To maintain compliance with CE marking requirements, the Low Voltage Directive requires that the Load
Sharing Module must only be connected to Class III equipment.
Wiring for the Load Sharing Module must be suitable for at least 90 °C (194 °F) and also be suitable for
the maximum installed operating temperature.
The Load Sharing Module must be permanently connected and employ fuses or circuit breakers in each
of the PT lines to limit current to the LSM PT inputs to no more than 5 A. In addition, a 2 A fast-acting fuse
or circuit breaker must be provided in the 24 Vdc power supply line.
All terminal block screws must be tightened to 0.56 to 0.79 N·m (5.0 to 7.0 lb-in).
To maintain compliance with CE marking requirements, the EMC Directive requires that all shields be
connected to the terminals provided per the plant wiring diagram, Figure 1-3.
Wiring for the Load Sharing Module should not exceed 30 m (98 ft) in length. If any signal run must
exceed this limit, an isolator must be used within 30 m of the Load Sharing Module. The isolator must
provide galvanic isolation via optical or magnetic means.
Power Requirements
The Load Sharing Module is powered from a 24 Vdc source. The 24 Vdc source must be a minimum of
18 Vdc and a maximum of 32 Vdc continuous. If a battery is used for operating power, an alternator or
other battery charging device is necessary to maintain a stable supply voltage.
To prevent possible serious damage to the Load Sharing Module,

make sure the alternator or other battery charging device is turned
off or disconnected before disconnecting the battery from the unit.
Shielded Wiring
All shielded cable must be twisted conductors with either a foil or braided shield. Do not attempt to tin (put
solder on) the braided shield. All signal lines should be shielded to prevent picking up stray signals from
adjacent equipment. Connect the shields to the terminals indicated in the plant wiring diagram. Wire
exposed beyond the shield must be as short as possible.
The other end of the shields must be left open and insulated from any other conductor. Do not run
shielded signal wires with other wires carrying large currents. See Woodward application note 50532, EMI
Control in Electronic Governing Systems, for more information.
Where shielded cable is required, cut the cable to the desired length and prepare the cable as instructed
below and shown in Figure 2-1.
Woodward 10
EC-US-L1
Released
Figure 2-1. Preparation of Shielded Cables
1. Strip outer insulation from both ends, exposing the braided or spiral wrapped shield. Do not cut the
shield on the end nearest to the Load Sharing Module. Cut off the shield on the end away from the
unit.
2. Use a sharp, pointed tool to carefully spread the strands of the shield.
3. Pull the inner conductors out of the shield. Twist braided shields to prevent fraying. The breakout
length of the shield braid should be 51 mm (2 inches) or less.
4. Connect lugs to the shield and to the control wires. Number 6 slotted or round crimp-on terminals are
used for most installations. Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the module.
Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) may require shielded wire run in conduit,
double shielded wire, or other precautions.
Generator Connections
Use 1 mm² (18 AWG) or larger wire for all PT and CT connections.
The spacing between the lugs on terminals 3 and 4 must be 6.5 mm

(0.256 inch) or greater to comply with the European Union Low
Voltage Directive (see Figure 1-3). The lugs must have insulated
sleeves.
Connections from the potential transformers and current

transformers must be made correctly regarding the three phases for
the Load Sharing Module to operate correctly. Sorting out the three
phases at the module is tedious and requires numerous generator
starts and stops. If possible, make sure that the wiring is correctly
done at the time of installation and the phases correctly and
permanently identified at the generator and at the module.
Connect the PT output from the A leg to terminal 1. Connect the PT output from the B leg to terminal 2.
Connect the PT output from the C leg to terminal 3. Size the potential transformers to produce 100–240
Vac.
Woodward 11
EC-US-L1
Released
Current Transformers
Power source current transformers should be sized to produce 5 A secondary current with maximum
generator current (3–7 A secondary current at full load is acceptable). CT burden is 0.1 VA. To prevent
lethal high voltage from developing on leads to the terminals, the Load Sharing Module contains internal
burden which must be connected across the power source current transformers whenever the unit is
running. Ammeters may be installed on the leads from the current transformers.
Connect phase “A” CT to terminals 4 and 5. Connect phase “B” CT to terminals 6 and 7. Connect Phase
“C” CT to terminals 8 and 9. Observe correct phasing as shown in the plant wiring diagram, Figure 1-3.
Load Sharing Lines, Droop, and Auxiliary Contacts

The droop contact for selecting droop or isochronous operation is wired in series with the circuit breaker
auxiliary contact between terminals 13 and 14. When both the droop contact and circuit breaker auxiliary
contact are closed, the Load Sharing Module is in the isochronous load sharing mode. In this mode the
internal load-sharing-line relay is energized, the droop signal is disabled, and the load matching circuit is
connected to the load-sharing lines, permitting isochronous load sharing.
The Load Sharing Module is in the droop mode when EITHER the droop contact or the circuit breaker
auxiliary contact is open. If the droop contact is open, the Load Sharing Module remains in the droop
mode even when the circuit breaker auxiliary contact is closed. If droop is not desired when the auxiliary
contact is open, turn the droop potentiometer fully counterclockwise.
Use a single pole, single-throw switch with a 0.1 A minimum rating for the “open for droop” switch.
Use twisted 0.5 mm² (20 AWG) or larger shielded wire to connect the load sharing lines to the other Load
Sharing Modules. Connect the (+) wire from the other Load Sharing Modules to terminal 10. Connect the
(–) wire from the other Load Sharing Modules to terminal 11. Connect the shield of the load share wiring
to terminal 12. The shield should always be connected only to terminal 12. No other shields should be
connected to this terminal.
Output to the Caterpillar Digital Electronic Control

Use twisted 0.5 mm² (20 AWG) or larger shielded wire to connect the pulse-width modulated output signal
from terminals 19(+) and 20(–) to the Caterpillar control. Connect the shield to terminal 21 only. Do not
connect the shield at the Caterpillar control end of the wiring.
Synchronization Connections
If an SPM-A synchronizer is used, connect twisted-pair 0.5 mm² (20 AWG) or larger shielded wire from
the synchronizer to terminals 24(+) and 25(–). Tie the shield to terminal 21. Do not connect the shield at
the synchronizer end of the wiring.
Speed Trim Potentiometer

If a speed-trim potentiometer is used, connect a 10 kΩ 10-turn potentiometer to terminals 26 (CW), 27
(wiper), and 28 (CCW). Use 0.5 mm² (20 AWG) or larger shielded wire and connect the shield to terminal
21. Do not connect the potentiometer end of the shield. The potentiometer is used to move the speed
setting when manually synchronizing the generator or to change load demand in droop mode. If no
potentiometer is used, add a 10 k resistor between terminals 26 and 28.
Shielded output lines should be limited to 30 m (98 ft) maximum

length.

Setup and Calibration
Introduction
Use this calibration procedure after a Load Sharing Module is installed on a generator set, to obtain the
needed operating characteristics during load sharing.
1. Check that the proper voltage is connected to terminals 15(+) and 16(–). Proper polarity must be
maintained. See the plant wiring diagram, Figure
1-3.
2. Remove wires from load sharing line terminals 10 and 11, and from the SPM-A Synchronizer (if
used) at terminals 24 and 25.
3. Select isochronous operation by shorting terminals 13 and 14.
4. If a speed setting potentiometer is used, set it to mid-position (50%).

property damage.
5. Start the engine according to the engine manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust the engine for rated
speed. Apply full load to the generator set.
The most accurate calibration is made at full load. However, if it is

not possible to run the generator set at full load, run it at less than
full load, and reduce the voltage readings given in this calibration
procedure proportionally. For example: run a 200-kW generator set at
100 kW and divide all voltages given in this calibration procedure by
2. If you reduce the load in this manner, be sure to reduce it by the
same amount throughout the calibration procedure.
6. Set the LOAD GAIN potentiometer fully clockwise.
7. Check the load signal voltage between terminals 22 and 23. Adjust the LOAD GAIN potentiometer
for 6.0 Vdc signal. If this voltage is not obtainable, set the load signal as close as possible to 6 Vdc.
8. Remove the load from the generator set.
9. Check the voltage between terminals 22 and 23. This voltage should be 0.0 ± 0.25 Vdc. If this
voltage is not correct, the Load Sharing Module unit is faulty or there may still be load on the
generator.

Phasing Check
HIGH VOLTAGE—A high voltage across open CTs (current

transformers) can cause death or serious injury. Do not disconnect a
CT from the Load Sharing Module while the engine is running. The
CTs can develop dangerously high voltages and may explode if open
circuited while the engine is running.
For this check, the generator set must be running isochronously, not paralleled, and with a power factor
greater than 0.8.
10. Check that the potential connections are made as follows and correct them if they are not.
• Phase A to terminal 1
• Phase B to Terminal 2
• Phase C to Terminal 3
The most accurate calibration is made at full load. However, if it is

not possible to run the generator set at full load, run it at less than
full load, and reduce the voltage readings given in this calibration
procedure proportionally. For example: run a 200-kW generator set at
100 kW and divide all voltages given in this calibration procedure by
2. If you reduce the load in this manner, be sure to reduce it the same
amount throughout this calibration procedure.
11. Start the engine and apply full load to the generator set.
12. Using a dc voltmeter, measure the load signal at terminals 22 and 23. Adjust the load gain potentiometer to
give a 6 Vdc load signal. If 6 Vdc is not obtainable, set the load signal as close as possible to 6 Vdc. Record
this voltage.
13. Shut down the generator set.

14. Disconnect the wire from terminal 5 that comes from the phase “A” CT and connect both wires from
this CT to terminal 4.
15. Start the generator set and apply full load.
16. Measure the load signal at terminals 22 and 23. If the phase “B” and “C” current transformers are
connected correctly, this voltage will be 1/3 lower than the voltage recorded in step 13. For example:
if the reading was 6 volts in step 13, the reading in this step should be approximately 4 volts.
18. Reconnect the phase “A” CT wire to terminal 5.
19. If the reading in step 16 was correct, proceed to Load Gain Adjustment later in this chapter. Otherwise,
perform the following Phase Correction Procedure.
Woodward 14
EC-US-L1
Released
Phase Correction Procedure

If this procedure is followed, the correct connection of the current transformers is assured; the correct CT
will be connected to the correct input on the Load Sharing Module with the correct polarity. Use this
procedure only if the Phasing Check indicates that the phasing is incorrect.
A CT for any phase (A, B, or C), will produce the most positive load signal voltage when it is connected, in
the proper polarity, to the terminals on the Load Sharing Module which correspond to the same phase.
Any other connections of this CT will produce a less positive load signal voltage. This procedure makes
trial connections of the first CT to all three CT inputs on the Load Sharing Module, polarized both ways on
each CT input. The load signal voltage is recorded for each connection, and the CT is then connected to
the CT input terminals that produced the most positive load signal voltage and with the polarity that
produced the most positive load signal voltage.
In a like manner, the second CT is tried on each of the two remaining CT input terminals in each polarity,
then connected, in the correct polarity, to the terminals which produced the most positive load signal
voltage.
The remaining CT is then connected to the remaining CT input and the load signal checked for each
polarity. This CT is then connected to the CT input, polarized so that it produces the most positive load
signal voltage.
When the procedure is completed, all three CTs are connected to the proper CT inputs on the Load
Sharing Module, with the correct polarity, and are now labeled with their correct designations.
The procedure for correcting phase wiring requires that the generator set be shut down and the current
transformers disconnected many times. For convenience during the phasing check, the temporary
method of connecting the current transformers shown in Figure 3-1 is recommended. By connecting a
burden resistor (a 0.5 Ω, 20 W resistor), across each current transformer, that current transformer can be
disconnected from the Load Sharing Module after removing all load. The connections between the
terminal strip and the Load Sharing Module can be changed with the generator set running; however,
remove all load before any changes in connections are made. Do not disconnect a wire from a current
transformer with load on the system. After completion of the procedure remove the terminal strip and the
resistors.

For this procedure, the generator set must be running isochronously, not paralleled, and with a power
factor greater than 0.8.
1. Start with the generator shut down.
2. Label each CT wire with the phase and polarity that you think it should be. Even though this
identification may prove to be wrong during this procedure, this step is necessary so that the
individual wires may be identified during the description of the procedure.

Load Gain Adjustment

For this procedure, the generator set must be running isochronously, not paralleled, and with a power
factor greater than 0.8.
1. Start the generator set and run at full load.
2. Measure the load signal voltage and adjust the LOAD GAIN potentiometer for 6 ± 0.1 Vdc.
If the load signal voltage cannot be raised to 6 volts, and the phasing has been checked and is correct, it
will be necessary to use a lower load signal voltage. Set the full load signal voltages of all generator sets
in the system to the same voltage.
When paralleled, adjustment of a generator set's LOAD GAIN potentiometer clockwise will cause that
generator set to carry less load. If stability problems occur when paralleled at a particular load signal
voltage, reduce the load signal voltage by adjusting the LOAD GAIN potentiometer counterclockwise and
set the load signal voltage of all other generator sets in the system to the same voltage (NOTE—Adjust
the LOAD GAIN with the generator running isochronously and not paralleled). When the load signal
voltages of all generator sets in a system are reduced, the load sharing gain will be reduced. This may
result in some loss of load-sharing sensitivity but will increase load sharing stability. It may be necessary
to reduce the load signal voltage of each unit in the system to as low as three volts in cases of extremely
poor system dynamics.
Droop Adjustment
Droop is usually expressed as a percentage. Droop percentage is calculated by dividing the difference
between the no load speed and the full load speed by the rated speed.
The DROOP potentiometer only needs to be adjusted when the generator set is to be operated in droop
mode. The method of setting droop depends on whether the load on the generator set an isolated load or
an infinite bus is. Once adjusted, the droop potentiometer will not have to be readjusted unless a different
droop percentage is desired.
Setting Droop for an Isolated Load

1. Open the OPEN FOR DROOP switch (or disconnect the wires from terminals 13 and 14).
2. Start the engine and adjust the speed for rated with no load.
3. Apply full load.
Woodward 18
EC-US-L1

4. Adjust the DROOP potentiometer to give the desired speed.
Example: Operating at 60 Hz, 57 Hz at full load indicates 5 percent droop.
If only 50 percent loading is possible, 58.5 Hz would indicate 5 percent droop (see Figure 3-2).
Figure 3-2. Droop Adjustment
Setting Droop for an Infinite Bus

1. With the generator not paralleled, adjust the speed above rated frequency by the percent droop
required (set engine at 63 Hz for 5 percent droop on a 60 Hz system).
2. Mark the speed setting potentiometer position or measure dc voltage on TB27(+) and TB26(–), and
re-adjust the engine speed for rated frequency.
3. Turn the DROOP potentiometer fully clockwise for maximum droop.
4. Synchronize the generator with the bus and parallel it with the bus.
5. Increase the speed setting potentiometer to the position marked in step 2, increasing load.
6. Slowly adjust the DROOP potentiometer counterclockwise, decreasing droop, until 100 percent load
is obtained.
If it is necessary to set the droop without pulling 100 percent load, set the engine speed accordingly for
the desired percent of droop at the load to be pulled. For example: Five percent droop at 50 percent load
will require a no-load rated speed of 61.5 Hz, not 63 Hz, on a 60 Hz system.

Theory of Operation
Introduction
This chapter describes the operation of the Load Sharing Module and its internal circuits. Figure 1-4 is a
block diagram of the circuits in the module.
The Load Sharing Module senses the power output of a generator and provides a pulse-width modulated
signal to the Caterpillar digital speed control to adjust the power output of the engine-generator set to
match the reference power level. The Load Sharing Module can also produce a droop condition (instead
of isochronous load-sharing) for the engine with Caterpillar digital speed control, making it possible to
connect the generator set in parallel with either a generator set which is running isochronously, or with an
infinite bus.
Power Supply
The internal power supply generates a regulated dc voltage for the operation of the circuits in the Load
Sharing Module. The power supply gets its power from the engine 24 Vdc power source. To prevent
damage to the Load Sharing Module that uses an alternator or battery charging device, make sure the
charging device is turned off before disconnecting or connecting the 24 Vdc supply to the unit.
Power Sensor
Generator load is measured by the power-sensor circuit of the Load Sharing Module. The power-sensor
circuit senses current amplitude and produces a load signal proportional to the current amplitude times
the power factor. The potential input comes from potential transformers (PTs) and the current input comes
from the current transformers (CTs). The circuit uses these two inputs to generate a load signal which is
then filtered and sent to the controller circuit. The load signal voltage of each generator set will be
proportional to the percentage of rated load on the generator set.
Ammeters and voltmeters may be driven with the same PT and CT wires.
Load Comparator Circuit

In the load comparator circuit, the load signal voltage is balanced with the other generator sets in the
system via the load sharing lines. The comparator circuit of each Load Sharing Module includes a load
gain potentiometer to adjust each generator set's load signal so that the load signal voltage of each is the
same at full load. This compensates for varying CT ratios or different generator set sizes. The load
sharing voltage will be one-half the measured voltage of the load signal test point.
Speed Trim Circuit

A 10 k, 10-turn speed-trim potentiometer can be added to the Load Sharing Module to permit remote
adjustment of the load or frequency of the generator. The speed trim is normally used for manual
synchronization of a generator set with an existing bus or to change the load demand when in droop
mode. If no speed trim is needed, add a 10 k resistor between terminals 26 and 28.
Woodward 20
EC-US-L1
Released
Isochronous Load Sharing

Each comparator circuit compares the load signal voltage for its generator set to two times the voltage on
the load sharing lines and produces an error voltage proportional to the difference. This error voltage is
used to generate a pulse width modulated signal which is output to the Caterpillar speed control. This
output biases the speed loop of the Caterpillar control until the load signal voltage is equal to that of other
generators on the load sharing lines.
Droop Operation
In droop operation, a portion of the load signal voltage is fed to the controller circuit. This voltage is used
by the comparator circuit to reduce the control output by a percentage determined by the DROOP
potentiometer. The output is reduced, and the Caterpillar digital speed control reduces engine power
according to the desired droop percentage.
When a generator set using the Load Sharing Module is paralleled in droop with other generator sets, the
common load signal on the paralleling lines is not used. The frequency of the generator set will therefore
vary with load, so it must be determined by a different means. In an isolated system with two or more
generator sets paralleled, if isochronous speed control is required, one of the generator sets must be
running in the isochronous (constant speed) mode. This generator set maintains the frequency of the
system. If a generator set is in droop and is paralleled with an infinite bus, the bus determines and
maintains the frequency. The DROOP percentage and the speed setting on the Caterpillar digital speed
control determine the amount of the load that is carried by the generator, when running in droop.
Auxiliary Equipment
The Woodward SPM-A synchronizer functions by biasing the output of the Load Sharing Module. All other
Woodward auxiliary generating control equipment functions by biasing the voltage on the load-sharing
lines.
Pulse Width Modulation

The Load Sharing Module output to the Caterpillar digital speed control engine is a frequency of 500 ±
100 Hz. The duty cycle ranges from a low of 10 percent for maximum decrease in load or speed to a high
of 90 percent for maximum increase in speed or load. The duty cycle varies according to the magnitude of
difference between the reference load and the actual power generation.
