FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

The 8445-1026 is a high-integrity Woodward ProTech-GII safety system designed to provide comprehensive overspeed protection for steam, gas, and hydro turbines. As an emergency trip device, it operates independently of the primary turbine governor to ensure the safety of the asset and personnel in the event of a catastrophic control failure. This specific model is a standard flush-mount unit designed for installation in control cabinet doors.

TRIPLE MODULAR REDUNDANCY (TMR)

The core of the Emergency Overspeed Protection Module is its Triple Modular Redundant architecture. It utilizes three independent, isolated sensing and logic branches to monitor turbine speed. The internal 2-out-of-3 voting logic ensures that if any single component or sensor fails, the protection remains active without causing a nuisance trip. This design provides the highest level of reliability and availability for critical industrial infrastructure.

ULTRA-FAST RESPONSE AND DIAGNOSTICS

The ProTech-GII features a response time of less than 12 ms, allowing it to detect an overspeed condition and initiate a trip signal before the turbine reaches dangerous mechanical limits. Furthermore, the Emergency Overspeed Protection Module performs continuous self-diagnostics and online testing of its internal relays and speed sensing circuits, ensuring the system is ready to act whenever required.

USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE AND LOGGING

Equipped with a front-panel HMI, the Emergency Overspeed Protection Module allows operators to view real-time speed, status alarms, and trip history without external tools. The system records First Out trip data, providing a sequence-of-events log that is invaluable for post-trip forensic analysis. Configuration is secured with a password to prevent unauthorized changes to critical safety setpoints.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is the Woodward 8445-1026?

The 8445-1026 is a ProTech-GII emergency overspeed protection system. It is a TMR-based safety device that trips the turbine if it exceeds a predefined safe speed.

Does this unit support Modbus communication?

Yes, the Emergency Overspeed Protection Module includes an RS-485 port for Modbus RTU communication, allowing you to integrate speed data and alarm status directly into your plant's DCS or SCADA system.

Can I replace an older ProTech-203 with this model?

The ProTech-GII is the modern successor to the legacy ProTech-203 series. While it offers significantly enhanced features and diagnostics, you should consult with a WOC technical specialist to review wiring and mounting differences for a successful retrofit.
