FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
The 5463-333 is an MW Sensor Unit designed and manufactured by Woodward for industrial control systems. It is specifically designed to measure real power (Megawatts) by interfacing with Potential Transformers (PTs) and Current Transformers (CTs) on the electrical grid or generator output. By converting these high-voltage/high-current signals into a standard 4–20 mA analog feedback loop, it allows the Woodward NetCon or MicroNet system to perform accurate load sharing, speed governing, and power management.
LOAD SENSING AND TRANSDUCTION
The primary role of the MW Sensor Module is to provide a reliable digital or analog representation of the electrical load on the prime mover. It processes phase-accurate voltage and current inputs to calculate real power, ensuring that the control system can respond to load changes with minimal delay. This speed of transduction is critical for maintaining grid stability and preventing frequency excursions during sudden load rejections or additions.
SIGNAL CONDITIONING AND ISOLATION
Operating in the vicinity of high-voltage switchgear requires robust electrical protection. The MW Sensor Unit incorporates 500 Vdc galvanic isolation to shield the internal control logic from the electrical noise and transients common in power generation environments. Integrated filtering circuitry ensures that the output signal is free from harmonic distortion, providing the Master CPU with a clean and stable power measurement for its governing algorithms.
INDUSTRIAL DURABILITY AND CALIBRATION
The MW Sensor Module features a rugged chassis designed to withstand the thermal stress and vibration found in power plants and marine engine rooms. The module is factory-calibrated to high standards of accuracy (±0.5%), ensuring that the power feedback remains linear and dependable over its entire service life. This long-term stability is essential for applications requiring precise load division between paralleled generator sets.

What is the Woodward 5463-333?
The 5463-333 is an MW Sensor Unit used to measure the real power output of a generator. It converts signals from PTs and CTs into a standard 4–20 mA signal for use in Woodward control systems like the MicroNet or NetCon series.
How does the MW Sensor Module contribute to load sharing?
In a multi-generator system, the MW Sensor Module provides the feedback needed for the control system to determine exactly how much power each unit is producing. This data allows the governor to adjust each engine's output so they share the total electrical load proportionally and efficiently.
What are the PT and CT input requirements for this module?
It is designed to work with standard industrial PT and CT secondary outputs. Users should verify that the secondary levels match the specific input ratings of the 5463-333 to ensure accurate power transduction and avoid overloading the internal sensing circuits.
