It handles generator voltage monitoring in delta or wye configurations, making it suitable for isolated or compensation networks. The wide setting range from 0.5 to 99,999.9 kW\/kvar allows precise power measurement across diverse generator sizes. Multiple alarm classes (A through F) enable customized protection schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Woodward 8440-1956, inspect the metal frame for any damage before mounting. Ensure proper voltage monitoring configuration: for isolated or compensation networks, set voltage monitoring to wye (phase-neutral) to prevent earth faults and unintended tripping. The module's 1 A CT input simplifies integration with existing current transformers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance \u0026amp; Reliability\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Woodward 8440-1956 operates reliably in high humidity environments up to 95% non-condensing. The AgCdO contact material ensures durable switching performance. With accuracy class 0.5, this module minimizes measurement errors, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Its robust design supports long-term operation in demanding industrial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSelection Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting the Woodward 8440-1956, verify that your application requires the P1 form factor (smaller size, fewer I\/O) rather than the P2 variant. The module is available from PLC Source PRO (formerly ubest101) – a trusted supplier of industrial automation spares. Confirm compatibility with your generator control system before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodward","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":44410705281123,"sku":"8440-1956","price":256.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/8635\/0435\/files\/8440-1706_af46b2c2-12cd-43dd-a613-a5db41a51aa3.jpg?v=1785193401","url":"https:\/\/www.plcsourcepro.com\/products\/woodward-8440-1956-industrial-automation-module-generator-control","provider":"PLC Source PRO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
