 WARNING
Read this entire manual and all other publications pertaining to the work to be
performed before installing, operating, or servicing this equipment. Practice all
plant and safety instructions and precautions. Failure to follow instructions can
cause personal injury and/or property damage.

The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an
overspeed shutdown device to protect against runaway or damage to the prime
mover with possible personal injury, loss of life, or property damage.

The overspeed shutdown device must be totally independent of the prime mover
control system. An overtemperature or overpressure shutdown device may also be
needed for safety, as appropriate.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-charging
device, make sure the charging device is turned off before disconnecting the
battery from the system.

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 the control
turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain 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.

Permanent Magnet Synchronizing

Motor for UG, PSG, and SG Governors

Description
The permanent-magnet synchronizing motor is used to provide remote speed
adjustment for an SG, PSG, or UG governor. The motor allows a switchboard
operator to match the frequency of an alternator to that of other alternators or to
change load distribution with other units when operating in the droop mode.

The synchronizing motors run only on nominal 24 Vdc power, but models are
available with self-contained rectifiers which allow use of 110 Vac and 220 Vac
supply. A potentiometer is included in most models. This allows the installer to
match the motor with the type of supply available, and to set the motor speed
within an adjustable range.

Four different PM motors have been used to adjust the speed setting of the
governor. The S40, MM40, and MM4A have been used in the past. The current
model is the SMM40. The SMM40 is directly interchangeable with any former
speed-setting motor.

The SMM40 permanent-magnet motor operates on a nominal 24-Vdc supply.

Rectifiers are included in models built to operate with ac supply. In addition a
potentiometer is included with the unit which adjusts dc voltages to an
acceptable level. An adjustable speed is achieved when a PM or APM motor
control is added to the system.

Adjustment
A friction-type slip clutch between the motor shaft and the governor allows speed
adjustment by the regular manual speed-setting method or by the electrically-
driven PM motor. If this coupling has too little friction the motor drive will slip.
With too great friction the manual speed adjustment will be too hard to turn or
set.

The slip clutch also prevents damage to the governor or the speed adjusting
motor when a maximum or minimum stop is attained. (The motor can continue to
run for a short period after a physical stop has been reached.)

The clutch should be adjusted for about 0.5 Nxm (4.5 lb-in) of friction. Individual
governor manuals contain instructions on the maintenance and setting of the
friction clutch.

Adjustment Procedure
(There are no adjustments on the MM4A.)

1. Unscrew the four round head screws (828, 515, 605) that hold the cover
plate (825, 519, 602) on the potentiometer portion of the unit.

2. Loosen the lock nut (866, 511, 603) on the potentiometer, turning it
counterclockwise. Turn the potentiometer adjusting shaft (865, 608, 530)
clockwise (toward F on the Bakelite board (834, 510, 601) to increase motor
speed, or counterclockwise (toward S) to decrease motor speed.

When the slot in the shaft points toward the white spot on the Bakelite board
the potentiometer adjustment will be at about the rated speed.

3. After the adjustment has been satisfactorily completed, lock the nut on the
shaft and replace the cover and four round-head screws removed in step 1
of this procedure. (Do not operate the engine for any extended period of
time with the potentiometer and wiring exposed.)

Power Connection
If ac power is used for speed adjustment connect one line from the ac source to
terminal "C" on the receptacle (831, 522, 609). The rectifiers (843, 518, 606) may
burn out if the unit is incorrectly wired. (Review the wiring diagram on the next
page and check against the wiring before applying power to the motor for the first
time.)

Terminals "A" and "B" are connected to the respective output poles of the speed-
control switch.

Bearing Lubrication
Ball bearings are permanently packed with a high-quality grease. Repacking or
periodic oiling is not required.

2 Woodward
Manual 03026 Permanent Magnet Synchronizing Motor

Gear Lubrication
The speed reduction gear housing (846, 528, 640, 733) is filled with enough
lubricant to last about two years. Clean out the old grease every two years or as
required and refill with Alvania No. 2 grease or its equivalent.

Troubleshooting
The speed setting motor is extremely long lived and reliable. Most problems
perceived as caused by the motor are in reality caused by either the power
supply to the motor or the friction clutch and speed-setting linkage in the
governor.

Do not disassemble the motor until after all other causes have been thoroughly
investigated. Make sure that the correct power is being delivered to the motor.
Check the connection between the motor and the power source.

Excess load or low supply voltage will slow the speed of the motor. Motor load
can be caused in the governor as well as in the sealed gears on the motor.
Always check for load in the governor by trying to turn the manual speed setting
knob before assuming that excess load is in the motor and attached gears.

Motor heat can be caused by low voltage, excess load, or internal wiring. Always
check causes outside of the motor before determining that the motor is at fault.

Applied voltage can cause motor overspeed. Overspeed conditions are seldom
caused by the motor itself.

Irregular motor speed can be caused by a slipping clutch, problems in the

voltage supply to the motor, of by the motor itself.

Replacement Parts
The following pages list replacement parts for the four speed-setting motors
included in this manual. The user must be careful that the illustration and parts
list correctly matches the motor being serviced. A number of parts are identified
in the drawings for information only. These parts are available only through the
purchase of larger assemblies, usually the complete motor assembly.

When ordering replacement parts, include the following information:

1. Serial number and part number shown on the mane plate.
2. Manual number (this is Manual 03026).
3. Part number from parts list and description or part name.

NOTE
Do not replace the motor until failure of the remote speed-setting adjustment
is clearly identified as failure of the motor. Check wiring to the motor and
power to the motor before assuming that the motor has failed. If the
electrical supply to the motor is determined to be correct, then carefully
check the slip-clutch setting to be sure that it has not changed. Check the
manual speed-setting gear train to be sure it is not presenting too great a
load for the motor to turn.
